At the time, I was working with her 18 month old who was not yet talking.

A Day in the Life of This SLP: Appreciative

Communication

It can be said that I have dedicated my professional life as a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) to my friends who are challenged by understanding others and expressing themselves effectively or efficiently.
