When should we begin speech therapy?
For most children, 3-4 years of age is a good time to start. For children who are “late talkers”, therapy can be started as early as 12-18 months of age. For children with literacy issues, therapy is likely to start during the early – middle school years.
How is the therapy done?
Most of the therapy is done through games and is fun for children. Each child’s program is tailored to his or her needs and abilities.
Can I Just Get an Assessment?
Yes. Following the assessment, results are discussed with parents. In some cases, the child is showing normal skills for his/her age, and therapy is not necessary. If therapy is suggested, possible therapy options are discussed. Parents make the final decision regarding when/whether to begin speech therapy. If you are uncertain about whether your child could benefit from assessment, you can call the clinic to discuss your child’s needs.
