Play therapy is fun therapy
- Give a dog a bone
Luke is so funny. He usually sits by the front window and waits for his therapist to arrive at our house with “the toys!” When he sees the mini van pull up he squeals. Just a couple fun things we did this week.
- Another Lakeshore manipulative
- Twister’s new game
Jumping, balance, then he had to catch a ball at the same time.

Mrs. Krause:
I just want to congratulate you,your family, and your speech therapist for the wonderful support and encouragement you provide your son. As a speech therapist I am delighted to see the progress Luke has made. Your website should inspire parents to see that a child’s progress is a team effort–not just the work of the therapist. When everyone works together the greatest goals are achieved.
Good luck and keep posting.

Ana, Thank you so much! Thanks for encouraging me to do more as well!
Lisa, I will check with Luke’s therapist and let you know what I can find out about that toy! It is a really good one-

Hi Jen - I found your amazing and inspiring blog after doing countless hours of research on childhood apraxia. My two year old son Landon has not been officially diagnosed; however, after I read “The Late Talker” my whole world changed. I’ve been looking for answers. Wondering if and when his voice will ever be heard. When I read this book, my heart knew why Landon was verbally struggling. Landon has recently switched therapists and is now at a place that has shown great potential. I feel like we are on the right path now and my hope and faith continue to strengthen. I have my days of uncertainty but I know my God is bigger than what seems to be a giant in our lives! I want you to know that your blog is a testament and inspiration to the many that read. You’ve touched my life with your personal stories of struggles and triumphs. Luke is so blessed to have you as an advocate, encourager, and mother!

Hi Lisa, The only information we could come up with on the farm animal set was it was made by LakeShore and it is called “On the Farm”.Produced about 10- 15 years ago.
Hi Samantha, Thank you for your comment. It is very nice to meet you. Keep in touch with me on Landon and the progress he makes. So glad you found the right therapist. That is so important. You watch, a lot is going to happen this next year! Luke at two was saying nothing. Big difference a year makes. I visited your blog, what a sweet sweet family! Prayers and hugs to you, Jen
