In today's episode, I am joined by Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) Jessie Ginsberg and Chris Wenger (aka 'Speech Dude') to talk about leading change in healthcare using the power of social media. Jessie is a sensory integration trained SLP, the CEO of Pediatric Therapy Playhouse and the founder of Global Inside Out Sensory Certificate Programs.
