In today’s episode, Stacia is joined by Shermeena Rabbi. Shermeena is the Director of Unlocking Language, a company that provides independent speech and language therapy services to adults, children, and adolescents, helping them physically and socially unlock language so they can find, develop and recover their voice. Shermeena has written papers and presented at conferences focusing on developing the social and functional skills of young people with social-communication disorders. She speaks three languages and has established her voice as a compassionate expert.

In this episode, Stacia and Shermeena discuss: 

• How Shermeena’s journey started and what prompted her to start her own practice 
• How pivoting from a face 2 face service to a telemedical service as a result of the pandemic has meant they can reach more people 
• The effects the pandemic has had on speech and language in children and adults 
• The importance of having structured screen time for your children 

Quote from this episode: ‘‘Communication is everyone's business. We all have a role to play in communication. We all have a role in nurturing communication, and we all have a role in empowering others to communicate confidently.’’
