This is episode 26 of the Swallier Pride Podcast and today's guest is someone that I really

aspire to be. I think all of us is speech pathologist should aspire to be someone like

her. It is Diane Barr and she is a

visionary with a mission. I know everyone's been asking when are you gonna have

Pedes info on, when are you gonna have Pedes info and it's coming.

Diane's the first of three people I have scheduled

for the next couple months.

So we will be getting some more Pedes info in.

So Diane has been practicing for more than 30 years.

She has treated children and adults

with feeding, motor speech, and mouth function problems. While she is a speech

language pathologist by training, she also has honed her skills as a feeding

therapist, published author, international speaker, university instructor, and business owner.

Diane co-owns ages and stages with her husband and business manager Joe.

She is also a mother and a grandmother.

Now, Die is one of those people that is just beyond generous

with her time and her information.

And I know you always see on SIG 13 she's always

getting out these extremely detailed responses with lots of references and

that's great I think we just need more people like this in our field. You know, everyone's kind of so guarded in their information and, you know, I just love that she makes it so widely available.

When I, you know, just asked her for some notes for this episode, she sent me some of her book chapters for free so I mean she's

incredible so Diane thank you so much for sharing your time and your brains
