How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?

Question

Patricia Welty · Accepted Answer

We recommend taking early action if you are concerned that your child may not be meeting their speech and language milestones. Research indicates children are neurologically primed to learn, so the earlier they receive support and intervention, the quicker they will make gains and meet their goals.

If you are unsure whether your child is developing age-expected skills, a licensed SLP can help you determine whether your child’s language skills are age-appropriate. At Open Lines®, every program begins with a comprehensive one-on-one evaluation with one of our expertly trained licensed speech language pathologists.

Our clinicians guide your child through a series of tests that will examine various aspects of their speech, language, and communication in order to determine whether your child’s language skills are age-appropriate, identify areas of strength as well as areas of delay or weakness, help assess the root cause of their difficulties, and design a plan of action to support your child’s growth and development.
