In this episode, the topics and questions came directly from the Unbabbled Listeners. Unbabbled hosts Stephanie and Meredith answer questions submitted through social media and email by listeners, Parish School families and even one former student. Topics covered include strategies for supporting children who struggle with homework, social events like birthday parties, why a child may be referred for a speech-language evaluation in elementary school, what’s the difference between speech and language and what is the average amount of time a child receives therapy before being dismissed. These questions were thoughtful and ones we hear often from parents we work directly with. We look forward to hearing more from you on what questions or topics you would like to hear more about.
