(A Complete Guide to Speaking with Impact in the Digital Workplace) The way we work changed forever in 2020.

Recent global workplace surveys show that over 60–70% of employees attend virtual meetings daily , and nearly one in three professionals

Supporting Students With Confidence, Understanding & Collaboration Classrooms today are beautifully diverse. Within one group of students, you may have children who are confident speakers, some who whisper their thoughts, some who struggle to find the right words, and others who have big ideas that stay locked inside because expressing them is hard . As a teacher , you are often the first adult outside the family to notice how a child communicates, which makes your role incr

If you’re a parent Googling, “Is my child Autistic or ADHD? Or both? Or something else entirely?” —you are not  alone. Every week, parents tell us some version of: “He doesn’t sit still—ADHD, right?” “She avoids eye contact—must be Autism?” “He talks nonstop but doesn’t actually answer  anything… what is that?” “Everyone around me has a different opinion. I’m exhausted.” And honestly, we get it. Autism and ADHD sometimes look like siblings: they borrow each other’s clothes, c

If you or your child stammers, you already know: it’s not just about words — it’s about being heard . At Sounderic, we meet families and adults every day who tell us, “I just want to speak freely.” Books can often be the first step — the bridge between understanding the science, finding emotional comfort, and realizing you’re not alone.

Imagine someone following you all day, shouting instructions like that. You’d likely feel even more pressure, right?  Some therapists teach all the strategies within two to three sessions to people who stutter and expect them to start applying them in their daily conversations.

For many adults who stutter, speech can become a quiet source of frustration. It’s not just about the words that get stuck; it’s about the moments lost   because of hesitation, the conversations avoided, and the confidence chipped away little by little.

At Sounderic , we see stuttering as more than a speech difference. It’s an experience that

Independence is often portrayed as “living alone with no support, full autonomy” . But when it comes to adults on the Autism Spectrum (that is, those with Autism Spectrum Disorder , or ASD), the meaning of independence is richer, more varied, and more pers

Language development is a crucial milestone in early childhood. For many parents, the journey of watching their child learn to communicate can be a source of joy and pride. But what happens when a child speaks later than expected? Is it simply a case of being a “late talker,” or could it be an early sign of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)?
