Frequently Asked Questions
Before speech therapy is given, a comprehensive evaluation must first be done. It is through this that the speech-language pathologist will be able to observe and identify the child’s skills in relation to the norms and determine candidacy for speech and language therapy.
If a delay or a disorder is suspected, it is highly recommended to have your child checked as soon as possible.
It is ideal to have a developmental pediatrician consulted first. Once the disorder is ruled out, it is likely that they will refer you to a Speech-Language Pathologist for speech therapy. However, you can also consult a speech-language pathologist directly.
There is no recommended age for a child to be assessed. As soon as a delay or disorder is suspected, early intervention is highly recommended.
