Jeaneen’s goal is to shake up how we approach language development and to decrease the number of children needing speech therapy. Having worked in schools, preschools, and providing early intervention in homes, Jeaneen has first-hand knowledge of how we interact with children shapes the way they develop. Although there are many children who truly need speech therapy services due to a disability, diagnosis, or impairment, Jeaneen feels a good number of children who are identified as needing early intervention speech therapy could be prevented if there was more parent, caregiver, and educator training on strategies to present and practice language.
Jeaneen, thanks for sharing your many gifts with people all over the world, for empowering educators, parents, friends…with knowledge of helping people communicate to the best of their ability and for being our guest… welcome to the show!
