In this episode, Dr. Tay welcomes Stefanie, the president and co-founder of the nonprofit Lilly's Voice.

Lilly’s Voice also provides education on AAC. The episode covers the importance of AAC, debunks common myths, and emphasizes best practices for parents to support their children's communication.
