Dr. Mazal Tasgal joined Rachel and Sarah back in May 2024 and talked all things communication. They dared to go off the ‘middle of the road’ pathways to explore the ways to nurture and develop communication, building on our innate ability to communicate with our child, right from the start. 

You can learn more about Mazal’s work here, and also the wonderful charity who supported her family at the start of their journey at special effect.

Rachel and Sarah also share their To-Do lists (even their secret ones!) and Rachel finally figures out what Number 5 actually meant – (it was Turtle Braces).
