How do you know when speech therapy is needed?

It’s never too early to ask questions or seek guidance. Feel free to call us to discuss your concerns—we’re happy to provide free advice on whether an assessment or treatment is needed, or if monitoring alone will suffice.

Speech Pathology may be helpful if:

• Other people struggle to understand your child’s speech.
• Your child has difficulty following instructions or learning new information.
• You often find yourself repeating or rephrasing instructions for your child.
• Your child’s vocabulary and sentence formation lag behind peers of the same age.
• Your child stutters.
• Your child speaks too loudly, too softly, or has a harsh or husky voice.
• Your child is falling behind in school or has below-average reading and spelling skills.
• Your child struggles to communicate appropriately in social situations.
