   Fan Favorite Replay: Building Confident Communicators with Jeaneen Tang

   It’s an oldie but a goodie — and we’re bringing back a fan favorite! 🎧 In this episode of All Abilities, No Filter, we sit down with Jeaneen Tang, a speech-language pathologist, author, and proud mom of a neurodivergent son, for an inspiring conversation about communication, connection, and confidence. With more than 24 years of experience supporting children and adults with neurodiversity, Jeaneen shares what speech therapy is really about — helping individuals find their voice, build meaningful relationships, and develop the confidence to communicate with the world around them. We also dive into Jeaneen’s book, PLAY DUMB & SABOTAGE, and the practical strategies she provides for parents and educators to make early language development approachable, engaging, and fun. Jeaneen explains how something as simple as “playing dumb” can create natural opportunities for children to communicate, problem-solve, and become more confident communicators. Whether you heard it the first time or you’re discovering it today, this conversation is packed with practical takeaways, laughs, and strategies you can put into action.
