Carly Dorfman, M.S., CCC-SLP
Hi! I'm so happy you are here. My name is Carly and I am a licensed and certified pediatric speech-language pathologist with over a decade of experience working with babies and toddlers. I am also a parent educator, a mommy and me class teacher, and a mom of two young kids.
I created KIDnection at Home because I kept seeing the same thing in my practice and in my classes. Parents who deeply wanted to support their child's language development but just did not know where to start.
This course is the answer to that. It is everything I wish every parent could have. And now they can.
