On this episode, I welcome Brooke and Bridget. They are sisters and speech therapists in Southern California, who own their own practice. They also have a great Instagram account (@speechsisters) where they share day-to-day tips for parents to engage their child in speech.

We discuss:

1. What parents can due in the "wait and see" period as development is being monitored.

2. Tips on engaging speech under the age of one and between one and two years of age.

3. What a typical speech therapy session looks like.

4. When a child should be referred to a speech therapist.

Follow us at @pedsdoctalk and @speechsisters to continue the conversation.
