I’m Sarah, a certified Speech-Language Pathologist with a passion for inclusive storytelling. As a speech therapist, I loved using picture books to target speech and language skills and finding creative ways to adapt stories to each child’s unique needs.
I found that caregivers were always looking for new ways, and new books, to extend the learning to home.
I decided to create this website to share my specialty knowledge on language development topics, along with sharing picture books that match different interests and learning goals.
Nice to meet you!
I aim to provide accessible resources for ALL types of readers and build understanding on topics related to the neurodiversity acceptance and inclusion.
If you have any feedback or suggestions for how I can improve these practices, please contact me.
