Introduction:
This week you get to listen in on my chat with Shannon Werbeckes of Speechy Musings. Shannon is a pediatric SLP, the creative force behind Speechy Musings, and an avid traveler.
At Speechy Musings, you'll find resources that are full of information, help keep you organized, and inspire you. Shannon is a believer in keeping things simple and making sure that you, the therapist, are not bogged down with complicated, overly fussy tools.
