Pediatricians don’t always have the training needed to be able to recognize when a child needs the services of a speech language therapist. They often take the “wait and see” approach. If you have a concern with your child, many pediatricians will provide you with a referral to see a speech therapist if you insist. However, if they won’t provide one, don’t worry – you likely don’t need a referral to see us here at District Speech. Don’t wait and see if your child has a speech/language delay. Set up an evaluation with District Speech and we will be able to provide definitive answers and strategies you can use today.
