Play Is Learning With CEO Anne Marie Flood Of Play And Thrive

 

Intro 

Anne Marie Flood is the CEO of Play and Thrive Speech Therapy. Anne was a Spanish teacher for 5 years but found her passion in Speech Language Pathology. She founded Play & Thrive Speech Therapy in January 2022 in the hopes of offering families more flexibility and collaboration. She believes in partnering with families to help early learners improve their speech and language skills through play.  

Play & Thrive Speech Therapy is a family-centered speech and language therapy practice, with a focus on supporting children’s needs through play. From helping pre-verbal toddlers with their first words to helping older elementary learners with inferencing and summarizing, all children learn best when they feel connected and engaged. Anne has worked with children and their families, all across the US. 

She currently lives in Arnold MD with her husband. When not in the clinic, she can be found homeschooling her two older kids or running with the youngest in the stroller.  

Top three takeaways 

1. How her programs can help children who are struggling with ELA and may have some areas of weakness in language and could benefit from additional targeted support. 
2. Not being tied to a schedule gives us the freedom to pack up for spontaneous day trips (or longer!) when the mood strikes 
3. Trust the process, even if it looks like we're "just playing"!
