Growing up, Rima Sejpal Adusumalli never questioned whether or not she would become a mother, but when her first child was born, she felt unprepared for the staggering demands of modern parenting. When postpartum depression set in, Rima thankfully found the support she needed. In today’s episode we discuss how she recognized when overwhelm became a medical issue. Interestingly, Rima offers similar advice when it comes to assessing your child’s speech development: don’t hesitate to seek professional advice.

In our conversation we discuss the power of story time to help both children and adults tune into the present moment and everyday routines to foster open communication within a family.

Rima also wanted to add that showing atypical skills such as reduced eye contact and low response to names could be red flag symptoms of autism and other issues beyond speech pathology.

The Slice will be taking a break for the summer. Subscribe for updates on upcoming episodes.
