Auditory Processing Disorder—How Pediatric Speech
Therapy Can Offer a Key to Unlock This Complex Issue
It’s said that being a parent is like watching your heart walk around outside of your body. We share our children’s joy and excitement—and we also feel their struggles as deeply as if they were our own.

Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course | Flagstaff, AZ
Flagstaff Extreme Adventure Course donated two pairs of tickets, one pair was gifted to a Therapy Tree employee & the other to one of our patients.
Flag X is an obstacle course, in Flagstaff, that is similar to a basic military training setup with 32 zip-lines that hang high in the trees.
“I think that this course pushes boundaries for a lot of people. It puts them in uncomfortable situations that causes them to grow and push themselves beyond the normal limits that they would experience in their day to day lives,” stated Sammy Riddle, one of the Safety Patrols at Flag X. There are 5 courses and they are broken up by difficulty and height. As you go through it gets higher and harder. In total it takes about 4 hours to do and the highest point of the course is 65 feet. Only about 20% guests actually get through the last course.
“Give your child two choices and label each item. For example “ball or car” or “cookie or cracker” Show your child each option as you say its name. When your child tries to say one of the items or reaches or points for it, label the item again and give it to them. Giving choices is a great way to improve gesture, pointing and increase vocabulary understanding and use. To make children’s phrases and sentences longer add one word to whatever they say. By adding a word, you are helping reinforce the vocabulary they are already using while adding vocabulary and grammar. If your child is using one word, use two.
For example: Child says “shoes” say “your shoes” or child says “car” say “go car” You can add pronouns like mine, yours and his. You can also use adjectives like colors and sizes. If your child is using two words use three words. For example: child says give me, you say “give me block” or child says “fast”, you say “it goes fast.”
