June 22, 2009 - The SpeechNutrients division of NourishLife announced today the addition of The Speak Café to their SpeechNutrients.com website. Designed to help parents of children who don’t like or won’t swallow softgel capsules, The Speak Café provides a forum for parents to find and share creative, fun ideas to help their children take the speak™ nutritional supplement. NourishLife speak™ is a patented nutritional formula of omega-3s and other nutrients developed by a pediatrician to support the nutritional needs of children with verbal apraxia and speech delays.
Containing omega-3, vitamin E, and vitamin K, the dietary supplement NourishLife speak™ is the only product of its kind that provides the precise dose and ratio of these important nutrients needed to support the nutritional needs of children known as late talkers or those with verbal apraxia. Speak™ has been shown to improve verbal and motor skills and coordination and balance in speech delayed children and those with verbal apraxia. In addition, mounting clinical evidence and hundreds of parental reports indicate this special blend of nutrients helps with first words spoken, improved voice and word clarity, more complex speech narrative, increased oral functioning, improved sensory issues and pain sensation, improved gross motor skills, coordination, and mobility.
According to Kara Bolton, Parent Support Specialist: “We’ve been thrilled with the feedback we’ve received from parents about the success their children are having with speak™. Through further dialogue, we have learned one obstacle some parents face is getting their children to take speak™. Because the fact is, for some younger children, swallowing a capsule or experiencing a new taste may not be easy. Many of our moms and dads have put on their thinking caps and come up with some great approaches to ensure their kids get the speak™ they need.”
Bolton continues: “After asking parents how they administered speak™ to their children, the recommendations started pouring in. One mom mixes it in a “blueberry pudding” which consists of blueberries, avocado, and honey. Another mom pours it on waffles and covers it with syrup. One mom even goes so far as to inject the oil into a slightly warmed hotdog.”
According to Julie Day, a mom whose son takes speak™, “Jotham is a real trooper. He takes his speak™ with just a gumball chaser. I lay him down and take the gel caps one at a time and use a large safety pin to poke a hole in one end. He empties it a bit then I poke a second hole to empty the rest more quickly. We do the same thing with the second gel cap. He asks, ‘All done, bubblegum?’ I say yes we are all done, and he pops his chosen color of gumball in his mouth. Those three words spoken together make his speech therapist and Mom very proud!”
The Speak Café is comprised of three sections: basic ideas for taking speak™, more creative ideas, and nonfood ideas. Parents may wish to visit The Speak Café often as it is constantly growing and changing from ongoing input from parents of speech delayed children. Families may visit The Speak Café at http://www.speechnutrients.com/speak_cafe.aspx .
