Hey there, friends! 🌟 It's your favorite occupational therapist from Adulting with Autism, and I'm so excited to share this episode with you. This time, we're diving into the world of speech therapy with the amazing Jeaneen Tang, a seasoned speech-language pathologist who's here to share her wealth of knowledge.
Jeaneen's journey is nothing short of inspiring—her son had a traumatic accident that changed everything, and now she's on a mission to advocate for him and others like him. We talk about the importance of early intervention, how to spot signs of speech delays, and the unique ways kids on the spectrum learn and communicate. It's all about understanding and finding the best path for our kiddos!
We also chat about the role of parents in advocating for their children in the school system, and how to strike that perfect balance without becoming the dreaded helicopter parent. Plus, Jeaneen shares some practical tips on helping kids try new foods and develop their communication skills through play.
So grab your favorite drink, get comfy, and let's learn together! Don't forget to check out Jeaneen website, PlayDumbAndSabotage.com, and her book for more valuable insights. And as always, join our Facebook group, snag some cool t-shirts from adultingwithautism.com, and keep on adulting. Love you all! đź’™
