Frequently Asked Questions
-
If you're concerned about your child's speech or language development, trust those instincts! Whether your child is difficult to understand, isn't talking as much as expected, struggles to communicate, or stutters, we encourage you to schedule an evaluation.
The old “wait and see” approach can delay children from getting support when they need it. Early identification and intervention can make a meaningful difference, and an evaluation helps determine whether therapy is needed or your child is developing as expected.
You don't have to wait for your child to fall further behind before asking for help.
