S8 Ep18: Abortion Rights and Religious Liberty, Speech Challenges From 'Womb to Tomb'

Listen Later
  • This week, our social media manager Chloé joins us, and we GO OFF about the upcoming decision on Roe vs Wade from the Supreme Court.
  • What other 'settled law' could be next? The right to privacy and bodily autonomy is on the chopping block.
  • Chloé expands on how it feels like religious liberty is only valued in the US if you're a white, cis male Christian.
  • As discussed in 7x22, a number of states have been lying in wait with trigger laws for the moment Roe vs. Wade is overturned.
  • Shifting gears, we are joined by listener of the show, Rex, who is a speech pathologist!
  • We chat about hearing and speech, pediatric feeding disorders, and stuttering, all of which Rex has professional experience working with.

  • For all the parents listening, Rex details some of the common signs you may want to consider finding a speech pathologist to work with your child.
  • What are some good gifts or toys to help improve communication with children?
  • To dispel a common myth: speech therapy is for anyone, and speech pathologists work with clients "womb to tomb!"
