About Our Name
The name “SKIDamarink A Dink” comes from a silly children’s song I sing to my patients, which always brings smiles. Singing face-to-face with gestures is a powerful way to engage kids, helping them develop working memory, imitation, and motor skills. It’s also a versatile tool to calm, provide distraction, or excite them depending on what they need in the moment.
So get to singing! Even if you’re not a great singer (I can’t carry a tune to save my life), you and your child will still have fun! These musical moments create meaningful connections that support development while bringing joy to everyday interactions.
Having grown up with a learning disability and raising children with special needs myself, I understand the struggle to find trustworthy information. I’m sharing the knowledge I wish I’d had back then.
