On today’s episode, Jill is joined by Tala Hershey, a speech-language pathologist and mom of two, practicing in New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey. She is the owner of Hershey Therapy Practice, a pediatric private practice serving New York and Connecticut as well as Hershey Speech & Language Coaching, extending its coaching services to parents worldwide. We cover so much in the episode—when to seek speech support as opposed to “wait and see,” how play can support your child’s language development, strategies that actually work to support your toddler’s language and communication, and so much more. Tala specializes in both working with children who require hands-on speech therapy as well as coaching for parents to learn research-based strategies to boost their toddlers' language for toddler’s who present with expressive language difficulties.
