Speech Delays and Disorders

In this week’s Raising Me podcast, host Adrienne Stein speaks with longtime Speech Language Pathologist, Margie Childs. Speech delays and speech disorders among children are on the rise, while at the same time the number of those trained to help is declining, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They discuss why more children are diagnosed with speech disorders and delays, how to identify them, and what you can do as a parent to help your child.   About The Guest: Margie Childs has worked as an SLP in Maine schools for 34 years.
