The earlier the better! Studies show that the earlier the intervention, the faster the child will meet their goals. If you suspect that your child is exhibiting delays in their communication whether that be turning toward someone calling their name, saying their first words, or if they are struggling to read and write at grade level, we recommend taking action early and seeking a comprehensive speech and language evaluation.
A licensed SLP can help you 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.
