In this episode of Speech Link, Char Boshart, MA, CCC-SLP, welcomes Carly Dorfman, MS, CCC-SLP, for a practical conversation about one of the most overlooked parts of early intervention: the parent knowledge gap. While SLPs often assume caregivers understand foundational speech, language, and developmental milestones, many parents have never been taught what to look for or how everyday interactions shape communication growth. Through real-world examples and strategies drawn from the KIDnection Method™, she shares how clinicians can translate clinical knowledge into fun, accessible learning opportunities that empower families and strengthen carryover beyond therapy sessions.
