Episode 77

This week I am joined by Olly Stewart, a wonderful speech and language therapist from the Evolving Mind Clinic. This week we are diving into everything about speech and language therapy, what it is, how it works, how you can access it, and parenting tips and tricks from a speech and language perspective.

We dispel the notion that speech and language therapists (SALTs) are only concerned with stammers and lisps, and reveal the transformative role they can have in fostering communication skills vital for children's social development. Olly also shares some practical strategies to enhance children's verbal and non-verbal communication skills, setting the stage for their future success.

Olly's expertise shines a light on the current shortage of SALT professionals and the growing need for their services across diverse contexts, underscoring the collective responsibility to support the communication needs of future generations.
