Need ASHA CEUs?

In this episode, I am joined by Jamie Giannino, a Speech Language Pathologist and owner of Wordwise Speech Therapy, a boutique private practice specializing in early language, parent training, school age language, and speech sound disorders. Wordwise Speech recently branched off to include a nonprofit charity, Wordwise Speech Foundation wherein Jamie donates time, therapeutic intervention, and scholarship funds to families that demonstrate economic hardship. Telepractice is just one of the many areas of clinical expertise and excellence that Jamie offers, based on her career working in varied clinical settings. Jamie has a penchant for seeking out the fun in life, and blending that with her teletherapy, fully believing that time spent having fun for oneself, away from speech therapy makes one a better speech therapist!
