  • Why Pursue Private Speech Therapy?

  • Should Parents Tell Their Kids About Their Disability?

    Should Parents Tell Their Kids About Their Disability?

    Often, I have parents ask whether or not they should tell their child about their recently diagnosed disability.

Personally, I feel that it is important to inform your child about both their strengths and their identified challenges. Given this information,…
