Gives families peace of mind
Many families are often left in limbo, waiting for their child to “outgrow” their speech or language problem. It can be very stressful. Seeking an evaluation from a speech therapist will give families the knowledge they need. If your child does not have a speech disorder or developmental delay, you can relax in knowing. If there is, the child can get help sooner rather than later.
Cut through all the information
There is a plethora of information online, from other family members, friends, and the media. Unfortunately, not all this information is accurate or reliable. It is important to consult a professional speech therapist for trustworthy information that addresses your child’s needs.
