When it comes to speech therapy for your child, consistency is key for success. We understand life gets busy and it isn’t always easy, but it is important.
The therapist at First Words Speech Therapy are focused on helping your loved one to reach their full potential. We create an individualized speech and language plan for your child.
We set short and long term goals for them. We also, plan out the small steps need to be taken to arrive at the end goals, but this takes regular attendance.
It can be a big challenge for your child to put together the puzzle pieces to reach their goals if they don’t constantly show up.
As a parent and caregiver, it can be a challenge to constantly juggle everything. It seems like there are not enough hours in the day. But when a session is missed (or several), it can easily set a child back in their progress. Consistency is key to any treatment plan.
Benjamin Franklin is cited as saying: “Energy and persistence conquer all things.”
William Durant explained: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”
A child’s brain is very complex. To learn a new skill, they need to strengthen the neural pathways, which takes practice and repetition. Children benefit from consistent engagement and input in therapy to reach their goals.
A child’s brain is able to rearrange and change itself, known as neuroplasticity. Strengthening and building new neural pathways and connections, when we practice and learn new skills.
Consistency and early intervention are key, they can have a big impact on your child’s development. Not only does it improve their ability to communicate, it improves how they interact, their social skills, and emotional development. It also provides guidance and support for parents and caregivers.
When we equip a child with the skills, knowledge, and confidence, they will grow up to be the best they can be.
If you suspect your child has a speech -language disorder, early intervention makes all the difference. At First Words Speech Therapy we are dedicated to meeting your child’s speech and language disorder with personalized care.
