Samantha is a speech pathologist with over 10 years of experience across the lifespan. She specializes in showing dedicated parents (like you!) how to use powerful strategies that help their toddlers communicate. Samantha became kind of a language nerd while studying child development, linguistics, and speech pathology at Cornell University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She holds a certificate of clinical competence from the American Speech-Language Hearing Association (ASHA) and is licensed by the state of New Jersey as a speech pathologist. Don't worry- Samantha has tested out everything she teaches on her own 3 children, a preschooler, a toddler, and an infant. In her free time she... haha just kidding! Remember "free time"? Samantha believes there is power in communication, in scientific research, and in making toddlers laugh. She believes that, with a little guidance, parents are capable of making a huge difference in how their toddlers communicate.
