Hey Friends~
*SPECIAL EPISODE* Podcasthon Highlighted Charity: Small Steps in Speech with Amanda Charney-Berardi.
If you’re a parent, caregiver, or professional who’s ever worried about a child being misunderstood…
if you’ve wondered whether listening, play, and connection really matter as much as we say they do…
or if you believe that every child deserves support—not just the lucky ones—then this episode is for you.
Today’s conversation is part of Podcasthon, a worldwide charity event where thousands of podcasts come together during one week to release special episodes in support of causes that matter deeply to them. I chose to highlight Small Steps in Speech, a nonprofit that helps fund speech and language services for children—because helping kids find their voice is at the very heart of what I believe, and how I believe change actually happens.
Always cheering you on!

ABOUT THE GUEST: Amanda Charney-Berardi is the founder of the nonprofit organization Small Steps in Speech, which she established in 2009 after the tragic loss of her fiancé, SSG Marc Small, a United States Army Special Forces soldier. Marc believed deeply in her career as a Speech-Language Pathologist and often served as her “guinea pig” for lessons and practice evaluations. After receiving the heartbreaking news of Marc’s passing, Amanda founded the organization in his honor.
ABOUT THE NON-PROFIT: Small Steps in Speech has granted more than $2 million to children across all 50 states, continuing Marc’s legacy. The organization provides children and their families the gift of improved communication through support such as speech therapy, AAC devices, parent–child PROMPT and apraxia therapy, hippotherapy, and other services that help children develop their voices.
