“Over my years in early intervention, I learned that many parents do not know how to play with their children” - Ms. Yemi
Ms.Yemi is the owner of Language Building Blocks. She is a licensed and ASHA certified speech language pathologist with a focus in early intervention. Ms. Yemi loves working in early intervention because she gets to work with the entire family unit. As a mother of a neurodiverse child on the spectrum, one thing that was a struggle was learning play skills that supported communication and social skills.
While working with various families over the years in early intervention, many families expressed the need to find playgroups that they could take their children to build their communication and social skills. Ms. Yemi realized there weren’t many places offering these services. And as a result Language Building Blocks was birthed.
The hope is to build a communicty that supports children through play while giving their parents hope by building relationships with other parents with similar interests and goals as themselves.
Are the playgroups speech therapy?
No, the playgroups are groups of parents/caregivers and their children that engage in various activities and play to support various developmental skills. Our playgroups being led by a speech language pathologist allows for a heavy focus on building communication and social skills.
Are the playgroups covered by insurance?
Unfortunately our playgroups are not covered by insurance as they are not speech therapy services that are billable to insurance.
How often do you run your groups?
This varies based on the playgroup. Some have 6 sessions and some have 12 sessions. We offer fall sessions and spring sessions with summer activities.
How many children in the playgroups?
This varies based on the playgroup. Some have 4 children and some have 6 children. Spacing is limited
Can we drop off and leave our children during the playgroups?
No, the playgroups requires the presence and participation of the parent/cargiver of the children.
