Hailey Phipps SLP

I am a speech-language pathologist and book lover on a mission to expand access to speech, language and literacy resources, while making at-home learning a lot more fun. Join the "SEA of Parents" newsletter email list for updates on RST's newest resources and book lists. You'll also get my favorite literacy and child development finds from other creators across the internet. SEA stands for Stories, Enrichment, and Adventure, and we focus on those 3 pillars when providing at-home practice. Check out the Reach Speech Therapy website for more free resources, blog posts and videos, monthly book recommendations and more!
