223: The One About Advocacy, OMT, and Private Practice

In this episode, I am joined by Christina Cahill Longo, a Speech-Language Pathologist & Orofacial Myologist. Christina shares her journey from working in an acute medical setting to establishing a private practice in a school environment. She emphasizes the importance of a growth mindset, both for children and their parents, advocating for a focus on emotional as well as academic needs. She also delves into her personal experiences with her children's speech and orthodontic challenges, which inspired her to further specialize in myofunctional therapy. Through her compassionate approach, Christina aims to help children and parents navigate their unique challenges while emphasizing their diverse strengths.
