    Every Voice Matters: Speech, AAC, and the many ways our children connect

    Every Voice Matters In this episode, we're joined by Speech-Language Pathologist Kaitlyn Shepherd, owner of bAAC Talk Speech Therapy, to dive into the beautiful world or communication. We explore how every child-whether through speech, sounds, gestures, or AAC devices-has a voice worth hearing. Kaitlyn shares insight on supporting communication and feeding skills for children with complex medical needs, and how families can build confidence in helping their little ones connect in their own unique way. Because no matter how our children express themselves-every voice truly matters.
