Why Your Child May Need Speech Pathology Services

It can be difficult to discern if your child could benefit from speech pathology therapy, but there are signs to look out for that indicate that your child may benefit from our services:

  • Delays in speech and language development
  • Difficulties pronouncing specific sounds
  • A diagnosis of a developmental disorder such as autism or dyslexia
  • Struggling to learn and progress at school
  • Difficulties in creating friendships with peers.

If your child encounters communication challenges it can affect many areas of their life and personal growth, causing frustration, reducing their confidence, and affecting their social abilities. Early intervention is key, and that’s why we love to work with families to provide your child with an advantageous start.
