Talk to your child's doctor if your child hasn't mastered most of the speech and language development milestones for his or her age or you're concerned about your child's development. Speech delays occur for many reasons, including hearing loss and developmental disorders. Depending on the circumstances, your child's doctor might refer your child to a hearing specialist (audiologist) or a speech-language pathologist.

In the meantime, talk to your child about what you're doing and where you're going. Sing songs and read together. Teach your child to imitate actions, such as clapping, and to say animal sounds. Practice counting. Show your child that you're pleased when he or she speaks. Listen to your child's sounds and repeat them back to him or her. Some affectionate "baby talk" to your child is OK, but remember that your child learns to speak by imitating you. These steps can encourage your child's speech and language development.

Once you have spoken with your child's pediatrician, our clinic will request a prescription for evaluation and set up an intake and evaluation appointment to review and assess your concerns about your child's development.  

No worries though, you're child will love our clinic and most pediatric evaluations will include play to illicit responses.  Most children enjoy our clinic so much that leaving is when the crying starts. 

Due to Covid, state and clinic restrictions may limit the number of people who accompany children to therapy. Additionally, many of our waiting rooms are closed. However, we will work with all parents and guardians to establish a plan for treatment.
