After learning that her son Thomas had a speech impediment, Accurso started the channel.

Accurso tells NBC News' Gadi Schwartz, "I had waited for that for so long. His first word was at 2 years and 8 months and it was mama. "It's not our fault if our child has a speech delay, and as a parent, you want to do everything you can to help them. I wish I had learned a lot of the things I teach for my son."

Ms. Rachel YouTube

Accurso, who holds a master's degree in music instruction from New York University, uses the recording studio in her one-bedroom apartment to create her popular videos.

I needed professionals to assist me, she claims. It occurred to me, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if there were a show that truly supported language development and worked on these crucial milestones and was slow-paced, a genuine person, and highly interactive?"

She claims that because she couldn't find a show that catered to her son's needs, she decided to create one.

I continued looking for this show for him, but we couldn't locate it, so I thought, "Maybe we can attempt to make this show, and maybe it would benefit more kids," said Accurso.
