Speech Assessment & Therapy
Speech therapy is the assessment and treatment of communication problems and speech disorders. It is performed by speech-language pathologists (SLPs), which are often referred to as speech therapists. Speech therapy techniques are used to improve communication. These include articulation therapy, language intervention activities, and others depending on the type of speech or language disorder. Speech therapy may be needed for speech disorders that develop in childhood or speech impairments in adults caused by an injury or illness, such as stroke or brain injury.
WHAT AGE SHOULD SPEECH THERAPY BEGIN? :
The best age for speech therapy is the age your child is at when they start to fall behind, or when you notice they’re not meeting milestones. It’s never too early or too late to start therapy. Children who aren’t speaking at all are commonly referred for speech and language assessments around 18 months of age. But, it’s absolutely possible for children to start at a younger age. Sometimes the start of preschool or school brings light to possible concerns that no one may have noticed before.
