Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know my child may need speech therapy?
If you suspect that your child may be delayed in their language, speech, or social skills, a great resource to reference is the developmental milestones from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) website: https://www.asha.org/public/developmental-milestones/communication-milestones/.
If you have any concerns about your child’s development, we highly encourage you reach out and get the opinion of a speech pathologist, occupational therapist, or physical therapist. When it comes to developmental delays, early intervention is key! Do not “wait and see” - get peace of mind from a skilled professional and set the ground work for future success!
Getting started is just a phone call away - call for your free phone consultation to learn more about therapy for your child!
How long are sessions and how long will my child need therapy?
Therapy is highly individualized to the needs of your child. Sessions are typically between 30-45 minutes long and may be recommended at a frequency of once or twice a week.
As with all development, every child is different and shows progress at their own rate! While some children may benefit from a “therapy burst” for a month followed by monthly check ins, others may have a longer therapy journey to work through all their goals across a span of months or years. Following the evaluation, your therapist will develop and review their individualized plan for your child’s needs.

I just enrolled my late talker into daycare to help boost their language skills. Do they still need therapy?
Socialization in a language-rich environment, such as daycare or preschool, is never a bad idea for a late talker! However, most of these programs are not tailored to the individual language or speech needs of each child. Therefore, a child with a language or speech delay may not be getting the optimal benefits from a daycare/preschool program on its own.
The good news is that speech therapy can lay the foundational skills and fill in gaps to support children to communicate in all environments. Sessions can also be conducted at your child’s daycare or preschool so they can thrive with peers and teachers.
