Today’s podcast is with speech therapist, Jeannette Washington, M.Ed., who I met four years ago on Instagram! Jeannette Washington has worked as a speech and language pathologist, software engineer and educator. She empowers those with special abilities to pursue employment in the tech industry. Jeannette’s love for technology is documented in her book “Technical Difficulties: Why Dyslexic Narratives Matter in Tech.” Currently she works within the intersection of technology, accessibility and social justice.

Jeanette and I have a conversation about milestones in speech for your child and how to help your child through that process. We talk about comparison, intuition with your child’s speech needs and Jeanette’s expertise with speech therapy. I also talked a bit about my own personal story and my child’s story with speech development. Jeanette even gives us her recommendations for strategies to help your child understand enunciating and articulating words.
