About

Hello! I'm Michelle Schaefer. Welcome to Speechie Mama Co!

​

I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist, nature-lover, sourdough baker, mama to three girls, and wife to my hubby. 

​

I started Speechie Mama Co after working actively with babies thru teenagers in schools and private practice settings for over a decade.

​

While I loved my time with my students, I repeatedly found myself dwelling on conversations with parents who were hopeful and motivated and yet unsure of how they could best support their children's communication needs. 

​

I believe in empowering parents with tools to grow their child's speech, language and literacy skills. Parents can have a more abundant home life and a more confident child by giving them the gift of strong communication skills. 

 

I love cultivating experiences that stimulate language in a natural way with kids.

 

My family and I are currently in Chicagoland!

 

I'm hoping this blog can showcase real-life adventures with kids, while sharing practical ways to build speech and language skills along the way.
