A beautiful tribute to the work an SLP does for children with communication needs. If you are nervous about bringing your child to speech therapy, this is a good read.
"You and my daughter clicked almost instantly and began building the foundation for the unbreakable bond the two of you would go on to form."
If you have just head from your pediatrician that your child needs to see a speech therapist, you may be filled with anxiety. You may be asking yourself, "Is something wrong with my child? Did I do something wrong? Should I just wait to see if it gets better on it's own?" The answers are: No, No, and NO!
