    More Than Speech: Inside Delaware's Growing Speech Therapy Community

    Send us Fan Mail This week on That Delaware Podcast, we're joined by Kelsey Ward, founder of More Than Speech, a private speech-language pathology practice serving families across Delaware. In this episode, we talk about how Kelsey knew at just 11 years old that she wanted to work in communication and special needs support, why she left the school system to open her own bilingual practice, and what makes her family-centered approach to therapy so different. We also get into how assistive technology has transformed the field, from bulky devices costing thousands of dollars to AAC apps now built into everyday iPads, and how that shift has opened up access for families in a way that wasn't possible even a decade ago. Kelsey shares some of the most meaningful moments from her career, why parents should always trust their gut and advocate for their kids, and how her partnership with Delaware Inclusive Fitness led to the creation of MOTIF, a nonprofit built to support the whole family, not just the child. This is one of those episodes that goes beyond business and gets into something that truly matters for families across our state. If you're a parent, a caregiver, or someone who works with kids with developmental needs, this episode is for you.

    The Weekly Newspaper & Punk Rock Flea Market: Old New Castle's Creative Scene

    Send us Fan Mail This week on That Delaware Podcast, we're still on location at The Sycamore Wine Bar in Old New Castle, sitting down with Amanda, editor of The Weekly newspaper, to talk local journalism, community, and the underground arts scene taking root in this historic town. Amanda shares how The Weekly remains one of the few independently owned, print-first community newspapers left in the state after Delaware lost its last independent newspaper printer earlier this year. We get into why print still matters, from the permanence of local archives to keeping older generations and former residents connected to home, and how younger readers are gravitating back toward slower, more intentional media. Amanda also opens up about her winding path from photography school to marketing to landing at the paper, and how the New Castle community rallied around her family during a job loss and a home sale all at once. We also dig into the Underground Arts Alliance, a new nonprofit Amanda co-founded to support local artists and musicians, and the Punk Rock Flea Market she helped bring to Old Town Hall, which drew nearly a thousand Instagram followers within 48 hours of launching. We talk about why Delaware's creative infrastructure, from DCAD to local music venues, has been disappearing, and why spaces like this matter more than ever for young artists. If you love local journalism, supporting the arts, or hearing how a small town builds community from the ground up, this episode is for you.
