In this episode we have our guest Shelby Ford, M.S., CCC-SLP. Shelby is a Speech Language Pathologist out of New Jersey currently working as an independent contractor for a private practice working with kids ages 2-9 years. She mainly treats speech sound disorders and early language. Shelby is trained in Orofacial Myofunctional Therapy and is in the process of obtaining her QOM. She started her instagram page and Teachers Pay Teachers store in 2020. What was started as her "COVID Passion Project" turned into a full fledged small business. While she stays busy with being a full-time SLP and small business owner, she values her work/life balance and encourages other SLPs to find a setting that works for them, make the necessary changes they need to better their quality of life, take that leap of faith, and "never say never."   We get into all things!
