Here, I presume competence, honor connection, and make space for hope for nonspeakers, unreliable speakers, and their families.

You’ll hear interviews with parents and insights from nonspeakers and unreliable speakers. 

This podcast supports families with children across a wide range of diagnoses and experiences, including autism, apraxia, aphasia, Down syndrome, and more.
