We answer your top questions about children’s speech and language development.

Speech therapy diagnoses and treats communication disorders. It focuses on helping individuals improve their speech, language, voice, and swallowing abilities.

Speech therapy can benefit toddlers and children of all ages and involves one-on-one sessions with a licensed speech-language pathologist (SLP). Treatment may include exercises, games, and strategies tailored to the child’s individual needs, aiming to improve communication skills and overall quality of life.

If your child is experiencing speech or language development delays, we recommend starting as early as 18 months to 2 years. Early therapy can help address issues before they affect a child's social skills and academic performance. However, speech therapy can be effective at any age, so it's important to seek help when there are concerns about communication skills.

The frequency of speech therapy sessions can vary based on individual needs and goals. We recommend 1 to 2 times weekly to maintain progress. Our flexible, in-home speech therapy lets you determine the amount and frequency that works best with your schedule.

If you’re unsure about what is best for your child, we work with you to develop a plan that meets your child’s specific challenges and progress goals.

Early intervention is key, so as soon as you notice any delays or missed milestones in speech and language development, it’s a good idea to consult a speech therapist. Speech therapists can support communication development in children from infancy through adolescence, helping address a wide range of speech and language issues. It’s always better to seek help sooner rather than later!

The success rate of speech therapy can vary widely depending on several factors, including the specific speech or language issue being addressed, the age of the child, and the frequency and duration of therapy.

Many studies suggest that speech therapy plans that address specific needs are more effective, and regular therapy and practice can significantly enhance progress.

While exact statistics can differ, many children show notable improvement in communication skills with pediatric speech therapy. We help our clients set realistic goals and track progress over time. We also work closely with each child’s family to offer tips, support, and activities you can practice outside therapy sessions to achieve results.

The speed at which speech therapy works can vary widely based on several factors, including the nature of the issue, the child's age, and the frequency of sessions. Practice at home can also help progress.

While some children may notice improvements within a few weeks, others may require several months or even longer to achieve significant progress.

Our comprehensive assessments, tailored interventions, and ongoing support ensure that your child receives the most effective therapy for their specific learning style.
