Ep. 9 Wh-Questions

In this episode of Not In the Visit, we’re talking about the classic “WH questions” parents ask that leave therapists quietly shaking their heads. From “Why can’t my child talk yet?” to “When will they be normal?” and the ever-popular “Why can’t you just make them say it?” — we’re breaking down the questions we hear all the time in therapy sessions.

We discuss where these questions come from, the misconceptions behind them, and what parents might not realize about speech and language development. With a mix of humor, honesty, and real talk from the therapy room, we unpack the moments that make clinicians glance at each other and think… “that was definitely not in the visit.”

Expect relatable stories, a little venting, and a lot of truth about what really goes on behind those WH questions.

No names. No facilities. Just validation, dark humor, and the stuff that never makes it into the visit note.
