Coffee Break Mini Lesson ~Milestones

Hi, I’m Marisa—pediatric speech-language pathologist, mom, and founder of Real Mom SLP.

For more than 20 years, I’ve helped families understand how children develop communication skills and recognize when they may benefit from additional support. I know milestones can feel confusing—especially when charts, online advice, and comparisons leave you wondering, “Should my child be doing this already?”

I created this Milestones Mini Lesson to give you clear, science-backed information without the overwhelm. Together, we’ll explore what communication development can look like, which skills matter, and how to observe and support your child during everyday routines.

You know your child best. My job is to help you feel more informed, confident, and prepared to take the next step—whatever that may be. Grab your coffee, and let’s learn together. 💛
