SLP Office Hours: Your Questions, Answered

May 12

Ever wonder if your child’s speech sound errors are age-appropriate? Curious about what a speech-language pathologist actually evaluates during a language assessment? This National Speech-Language-Hearing Month, we’re opening the conversation…literally! Join us for SLP Office Hours, where you can drop in, ask questions, and connect with our lead speech-language pathologist, Jody Vaynshtok, in real time.

When: Monday, May 12th - Thursday, May 15th at 11:30 AM
Where: SLP Office Hours Zoom Room
Who: Parents, caregivers, and anyone eager to learn!

Join our daily Zoom sessions to answer your most common (and not-so-common) questions about speech, language, communication, and development. Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, teacher, or curious professional, we welcome you to pop in and chat.

One of our goals as a clinic is to make information more accessible. We know that families are often overwhelmed by mixed messages online or difficulty finding clarity if an evaluation is needed.

We hope you’ll join us during this special week. It’s a great way to celebrate National Speech-Language-Hearing Month, and an even better way to take the first step toward supporting your, or your child’s, communication journey.
