Blogs, Gift Suggestions / Amy-Paige Cox

“The art of communication is the language of leadership.” This quote captures the essence of why Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are our real-life super heroes. Audiologists and speech therapists empower us to lead our lives through effective communication and care. Personally speaking, I am oh so grateful for my SLP, who at 5-years old taught me how to correctly roll my R’s. I mean without her, I would still be “twying to twack the twain” aka trying to track the train… And, of course growing up in a neighborhood called “Retreat” provided me with plenty of rolling r practice! So, has a speech therapist made a difference in your life this year? Well if that’s true, now is the perfect time to show your gratitude! We’re here to save you time and energy with thoughtful thank you gift ideas for speech therapists.
