Join Corinne Zmoos, MS, CCC-SLP, and Megan Myatt, MS, CCC-SLP, to explore the journey as an NLA clinician who is also the mom of a GLP! Megan is a private practice SLP specializing in neurodivergent language acquisition and is passionate about supporting Gestalt Processors and their families. You’ll hear about the early signs she saw in her son, how their family has applied elements of the NLA framework to their lives, and her recommendations for what to do (and definitely what not to do) when supporting clients and their caregivers. Megan also highlights the importance of balance, grace, and enjoying the ride for parents and clinicians alike.
