While many parents are glad their child is involved in school based speech therapy, they often find it challenging for a few reasons. First, there are typically several children in one group each with their own speech challenges and goals. Second, it can be a struggle for the teacher to specifically address your child’s speech issue.
School based speech pathologist are professionals who are both passionate and dedicated. But they are faced with very large caseloads and very little time. This can prevent your child from getting the support they need. It is important parents and caregivers empower their child’s needs and their speech/language journey directly.
Orlando’s First Words Speech Therapy provides a great solution
Here at First Words Speech Therapy provide a clinically proven and specially designed way to prompt your child to move and place their tongue for those sounds that are difficult to learn in early school years or pre-kindergarten. For instance, R,L, S, CH, and Sh.
We also offer learning plans and actionable support that will empower the parent/caregiver as well as the child. Partnering with you and your child for an effective speech therapy process.
Each specific sound requires the tongue to be placed precise location in the mouth. For instance, for the S sound, if the tongue is placed too far forward or too far back in the mouth, the S sound won’t come out right.
Using proven methods, First Words Speech Therapist provides a consistent and clear target within the mouth. This makes it easier for your child to learn the sound. That “aha” moment for your child is enormously motivating and a crucial step towards correcting a speech challenge.
Instead of having 5 to 10 minutes of one-on-one attention in a school based group therapy, First Words Speech Therapy creates a comprehensive lesson plant specifically for your child. This provides a clear roadmap for success.
When speech – language issues are identified early, treatment has positive results.
If you have any questions or concerns, we encourage you to contact First Words Therapy. We take a holistic approach to speech-language-therapy to help your child communicate more effectively.
