The Connection between Speech Delays and Behaviors | Episode 16 with Pamela Pereira

Pamela Pereira is a Speech Language Pathologist specializing in pediatric care. We talk with her about the challenges children face with speech and language development, particularly in early intervention. Pamela shares her experiences working in New Jersey and New Orleans, highlighting how academic and behavioral expectations differ, and how speech delays affect children’s ability to meet those standards. We also explore ways educators and caregivers can better support children with language delays, offering actionable tips to enhance communication and behavior in developmentally appropriate ways. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or healthcare provider, this conversation is packed with helpful insights for working with young children. Join hosts Jessica Eisenstat, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and Dr. Lauren LaRose, a Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist, as they dive into raw and real conversations about all things kids. These two moms, who also happen to be mental health professionals, bring humor, debate, and a hefty dose of mom realness to every episode. From tackling children’s mental health to the daily chaos of parenting, nothing is off-limits.
