It may be unbearably hot out and we are preparing for cooler temperatures and fall sensory play!

We are so excited to announce that our sensory gym is finally finished including three new swing hooks!! We can't wait to integrate more movement into our treatment sessions!

We are getting more and more excited about our upcoming workshop "Big Emotions in Little People (and teens): Tips and tools for creating coregulation with your child!" We spent the weekend brainstorming and planning. I think this is going to be a really great workshop and different than those I have seen before filled with practical real life in the moment strategies! I also wanted to add that this workshop will apply to anyone who has a nervous system so that is everyone. It can help parents/caregivers/professionals help themselves and can help adults work with kids, teens, and young adults. This workshop would be perfect for parents, caregivers, teachers, counselors, and other professionals! We are happy to answer any questions that you may have. Thanks for reading and considering and sharing if you know of others who might benefit.

We are so excited to be offering this workshop for families, caregivers, and families! Please share with your friends and reach out with any questions!

7 pounds 10 ounces -
They all asked how much you weighed
And an IQ of 100
Makes you average so they say

9 out of 10 in Monday’s test
Piano to grade 5
2 minors in your Friday test
And now you’re free to drive

85’s the pass mark
So you’d better try your best
And if you’re scoring 90
Then you’re destined for success

But grade five doesn’t tell them
Of your favourite song to play
And how much you love is not defined
By how much you might weigh

Seven pounds won’t tell them
You were born to paint the stars
And your test scores can’t explain
How you have come to bear your scars

Two is not nostalgia
When you drive yourself back home
And it’s not the memories you make
With friends out on the road

Eighty-five and ninety
Aren’t the songs you sing when sad
And they’re not the feeling in your heart
When you get up to dance

One hundred doesn’t tell them
That your favourite month’s September
So when you feel outnumbered
It’s important you remember

You are strength and you are kindness
You’re creative and you’re brave
You are things that can’t be measured,
Can’t be counted, can’t be weighed

You’re a name and not a number
You weren’t born to be a score
So don’t let them quantify you
When you’re made of so much more

Guess what we are doing at Inside Out this week?

Great video of why nasal breathing is so important..

Great language examples for helping with coregulation!'

I have seen many posts and heard from
Families over the past months about the long lines for therapy providers.

I’m so excited to announce that I just moved my practice to a new location (2500 west William cannon drive suite 804) and am even more excited to announce I have a wonderful Speech and Language Pathologist coming on board at the beginning of June. He happens to be male which is a rarity in our field and I think clients and families are going to love him!

That means we will soon be clearing our wait list and will have a whole caseload of slots for Speech and Language Therapy over the next couple of months. I will be doing evaluations and may even open some weekend evaluation slots over the next few months.

I know there are so many great providers in the area and I’m hoping some of you will consider us! We would love to help! Feel free to give me a call to see if we might be a good fit. I’ll do my best to get as many potential clients in as we can have. Thanks so much for reading and please share with anyone you think we might be able to help!

Inside Out Speech & Language Therapy updated their address.

So happy to announce that at the end of the month we will be moving to a new physical location 2500 West William Cannon Drive Suite 804 (in Stonegate 2 Condominiums and next door to Aspire Allergy and Sinus)! We so look forward to the shift and know wonderful things are ahead!!

It So important to teach how to organize!

Yes, organization is important but we need to teach them HOW.

How you breathe deeply affects how you perceive and experience the world and how you feel inside your body! As a Speech Language Pathologist/myofunctional therapist who works through a somatic/trauma informed lens teaching longer deeper nasal breathing is so important in my work with clients and for myself personally. Breathing is central to social engagement, regulation, organization, and learning. Below is an article that I found some great points within. Also below are my favorite bubble blowers with a longer wider tube that facilitate great blowing and deeper breath facilitation. Happy Breathing everyone!!

The Science Of Breathing: How Slowing It Down Can Make Us Calm And Productive If you’re feeling stressed, the advise to “take a deep breathe” is as cliché as it comes. But even if you know that slowing your respiratory roll really can calm you down and make you feel more rested and relaxed, few people know how this process actually works.

Play is so powerful!!

So powerful. ❤️

behavior and safety through the lens of the nervous system! This is an excellent article with video to learn more...

Why A Child’s Behavior Is Not What You Think It Is We’ve all seen it or experienced it: a child having a meltdown at a store, yelling, kicking, crying and screaming at his mother. As parents, we cringe, worrying what other people will think. We feel embarrassed, knowing that others will likely judge us and think we are a bad parent. We feel angry ...

I am so excited to share that as of tomorrow Inside Out Speech and Language Therapy is expanding! We have a full time bilingual SLP (English and Spanish) and a Part time SLP starting this week. We also have after school availability. Keep us in mind if you or someone you know might need therapy services in South Austin (290/71 at the Y in Oak Hill). No wait list right now for these two new therapists.

I am so excited to officially announce the opening of our new Inside Out Speech and Language Therapy office space at 7225 West Hwy 71 Suite A in Oak Hill at the Y at Hwy 71 and 290. The space feels so wonderful! The current clients love it so far and we are so excited to expand. We will have one and possibly two SLPs coming on around the start of school. One SLP is bilingual as well and loves the little ones (English/Spanish). Among our therapists we now have even a wider skill set and the ability to serve more clients and families. The addition of new therapist(s) means that we will have immediate openings including after school slots which are very hard to come by in Austin right now. It is such an exciting time!! Call now for a free phone consultation to see if we can help or to schedule an evaluation! We are looking forward to an amazing year ahead!!

Good visual explaining executive functioning

This is a nice visual demonstrating how executive functions work together in various combinations to help you get things done. Love the idea of various buckets pulling together! Even for EF challenged and ADHD folks, we all have certain executive functions that are stronger than others. Learning which ones you need help with is the key to developing skills and using external tools to support your brain. 🧠💪🏼

Thanks to for creating this visual!

Inside Out Speech & Language Therapy updated their business hours.

YES. Thank you again🌹, Mona Delahooke, Ph.D.
