Jody Sastry Speech Therapy
1. Tell us about your business/non profit and how it benefits local families?
Jody Sastry Speech Therapy is a private practice for speech and language therapy in a cozy, nurturing setting. My services are covered by most health insurance plans. Therapy with children involves age-appropriate play activities. Parents are invited to watch the treatment sessions so that they can reinforce the lessons in between therapy sessions. Home practice materials will also be provided. 2. Where is it located? My practice is attached to my home, conveniently located close to Route 6A in East Sandwich. 3. What is your favorite thing about our community? Everyday I am grateful for the ability to take in the views of the surrounding natural beauty of where we live. Aside from the beautiful landscape of Cape Cod, there is a wonderful community of close-knit, supportive people. 4. How else do you get involved with the community? I am on the board of the Companion Animal Program. My dog Cocoa, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and I visit various locations in our community to bring joy, comfort, and therapeutic support to seniors, children, and individuals with disabilities. I am also a volunteer with Wellfleet Audubon as part of Team Turtle; I do search and rescue for cold-stranded sea turtles on the Sandwich beaches. 5. What do you think are the biggest challenges facing parents in our community? I think one of the biggest challenges facing parents in our community is having access to specialty services; often times parents must travel off-Cape to provide their children with appropriate services to meet their needs. Additionally frustrating, the wait times for these appointments are often booking months out. 6. What is your favorite memory or story over the years involving you and your business? After working for months helping a child improve his many speech errors, he became so confident, his teachers remarked that he seemed like a different child—more outgoing with peers and eventually he performed in a class play. 7. What advice would you give parents and caregivers in our community? Advocate for your child if you feel they are having any trouble with their communication, no matter what others tell you. You know your child best and if you have a worry, it is valid to have it assessed by a professional. 8. Do you have any specials, events, or anything else taking place this upcoming year that our parents should know about? My practice offers no waiting list and no turnover - your child will get the same therapist every week. 
 Horseback Riding & Benefits By: Corinne Mans relationship with horses goes back more years than one can realistically contemplate but around 800 BC, people in Central Asia started riding them instead of just using them to pull carts and wagons. Here in 2018, we still ride horses and while it is less common to use them as a mode of transportation, the benefits of riding are many. Corinne, lets you in on her son Remy’s journey with starting horseback lessons and shares how it can be beneficial for any person to engage in.
