Meet Vanessa Ross
I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist who has worked with countless parents who wonder why the words haven't come yet. After years helping families on living-room floors, I learned words don't come from flashcards or doing more — they come from connection, woven into the ordinary five minutes you already have. Speechie Parent hands busy, worried parents simple, play-based ways to spark those words, without the pressure or the guilt. You don't need more time. You just need the right five minutes.
