  • Great podcast!

    As an SLP in Canada, I love listening to the blend of knowledge from developmental professionals and parents of children! Are you able to put the show notes from the website onto the podcast app? It’s hard to know what a podcast episode is about just by the title!

    I just wanted to thank you for this podcast. I began my DIR journey a few years ago and I often need refreshers on topics. Other topics are completely new to me. I especially enjoy the guest speakers! Thank you for keeping the dialogue going for those of us who feel isolated.
