This question is individualized to each child. Following assessment, duration and frequency will be recommended based on the results. Our goal is not to keep your kid in therapy forever, but to see them graduate from the program as soon as is appropriate. The rate of progress is always dependent on the goals being addressed, consistent attendance at set appointments, and follow-through with family or individual practice. Your speech therapist will be able to provide further insight as to their expectations for growth and change based on the past treatment times of children experiencing similar challenges, but all kids develop at different rates. Your willingness to work with your child outside of therapy sessions makes a huge difference, too.
