Publicly funded speech therapy options in Central Florida are wonderful, teachers pour out their heart and soul to provide these services. These could be in the form of our local Early Intervention (EI) program for speech and language therapy, the Committee on Preschool Special Education (CPSE), or from your local public school.
But supplementing your speech and language therapy may be something you may want to consider, it can have a huge impact on your child’s development.
Why private speech and language therapy is a smart investment in your child’s future?
Choice
Publicly funded speech therapy services are a great resource for your child, but unfortunately, many of these sources are under budgetary pressures. This leads to very large classes, with less individual attention.
Private speech and language therapy not only ensures the relationship between the therapist and child is a “good fit”, which is very important for success. It also allows for choosing a speech therapist who has extensive experience with a particular challenge.
Undivided Attention
Due to budget and resources restrains, many school speech and language therapy sessions can have over 5 students in them. This allows for very little one on one attention. Not only that, they are missing out on regular classroom time. This is why many parents often decline school based therapy.
Another Hand On Deck
The development of speech and language is very important for the course of a child’s life. From speaking properly, doing well in school, not get made fun of from other children, and building confidence. Having a professional speech therapist on one-on-one sessions with your child is invaluable. It’s like having someone one your side, you can ask questions, get advice, and bounce ideas off of.
