The Autism Dad Q&A with a Speech and Language Pathologist (feat. Mckell Smith) S6E05
In this week's episode, Mckell Smith is back to answer your questions about speech therapy. Mekell is a Speech and Language Pathologist, as well as a special needs Mom. Speech therapy is so important to so many kids, and won’t believe some of the things speech therapy can actually help with. It’s actually, kind of amazing. Mckell helps you navigate your speech journey by sharing things like when to get your child evaluated, how to prepare for your initial evaluation, what questions to ask, how to ensure the best possible outcome and everything in between.
This episode is designed to be a community resource and I hope it helps you to better understand, prepare for, and navigate speech therapy.

Goally
Goally is a digital visual scheduler, AAC talker, token board system, and more all rolled into one easy-to-use app. It's made for unique thinkers like autistic kids and kids with ADHD. Kids together with Goally can conquer daily routines and therapy practice without prompting from mom or dad. This reduces that feeling of nagging your kids, and it also grants your kids some autonomy to sort of manage their own lives. Goally can easily be used on your child's existing device or with Goally's optional and affordable, dedicated device. In my house, we found that the dedicated device seems to work better for my son, so that's what we use.
