Speech-Language Therapy for Kids

Is speech-language therapy right for my child?

Ask yourself these questions.

Is my child bright, but…

Struggles to get to the point when telling a story?
Gets frustrated when listening to someone talking or telling a story?
Doesn’t talk as much as the rest of the kids on the playground?
Has a difficult time following directions?
Often uses general words like “thingy,” its, something, instead of the object’s name?
Mixes up the multiple languages they’re exposed to at home or has the same speech and language errors in multiple languages?

You’ve asked your child’s teachers, the pediatrician, and your friends about these issues, but everyone says your child is fine. You know something isn’t right. Speech-language therapy may be the solution.

Whether or not your child has a diagnosed communication challenge, speech-language therapy can provide effective treatment for school-age children struggling with language by:

Strengthening core communication skills
Identifying communication strengths and weaknesses
Helping students learn to understand and accept their learning process
Learn to use effective strategies that allow them to navigate school and social situations

Strong speech and language skills allow children to express their ideas clearly, understand and learn from reading or listening, and follow multi-part directions.
