Episode 14: Parenting in the New Age of Stuttering - how Talking Town Books came to be as an SLP and Mom of a child who stutters: Part One

Hi Everyone It's been a while since I've posted an episode, but this is a great episode to be back! Today I am joined with Mackenzie from Talking Town Books. Mackenzie is a paediatric speech-language pathologist who specialises in the birth to five-year old population. Her journey to becoming a children's book author was a fated one! As her oldest child, Vaughan, began stuttering, Mackenzie and her husband knew they wanted a way to talk to him about his stutter that felt informative, celebratory and also engaging. The dream of Daniel the Digger and the Talking Town Crew grew from there - and the rest is history! Mackenzie hopes that Daniel's story inspires readers young and old to celebrate their own differences and to be a friend to hose who need one! In this episode we talk about Mackenzie's job as an SLP, her experience as a parent to a child who stutters and how Daniel the Digger Sp-Sp-Sputters came to be! This episode is split into two parts so make sure to stay tuned for the next episode. If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your friends and family!
