Terms of Use for Speech is Beautiful

Now here’s some boring stuff I wanted to make sure all past, current, and future readers are aware of. Spoiler alert: articles published here do not qualify as speech therapy advice. If you need speech therapy, please seek out a certified speech-language pathologist in your state. All of the articles I write here are not only totally written by myself, but are completely my property. Read the below for more detail! Thanks, The Management, aka Sarah 🙂
