Sometimes we need to go back to the basics. Because May is National Speech Language and Hearing Month, I thought it would be the perfect time to do just that. Today I'm talking to Megan Peveto, who is a speech/language pathologist who specializes in toddler language development. Megan is going to bring us back to the basics when it comes to language development for neurotypical children. We will also be chatting a bit about what it means to be an analytic language processor vs a gestalt language processor. Join me for this fun conversation with Megan.

Megan Peveto is a speech/language pathologist and the founder of the SLP Next Door. She is from a very small town in Texas. She is married to the absolutely best man on the planet and they have a little boy and a dog named Charlie. (sounds like a country song, doesn't it?) She has been in the world of speech therapy ever since 2012 when she graduated with her Bachelor's degree. She spent a year working as an SLP-A (speech language pathologist-assistant) before going to graduate school. Megan graduated with her Master's degree in 2015 and has a certificate in Autism/Special Education.

The SLP Next Door was created with SLPs, educators, and anyone in the world of babies and toddlers in mind. Consider Megan your one stop shop for toddler language and communication development!

Megan's "Toddler Toolbox" will provide you with everything you need to take your sessions from stressful to joyful! You'll understand how play develops, the best books for speech therapy, favorite toys that keep toddlers engaged, and so much more...
