Pediatric Therapy FAQ's
How early can you start speech therapy?
Children are often referred to speech therapists at two or three years old. Children as old four or five may also be seen by an articulation specialist. The goal is typically for children to start using their voice correctly in school and social settings, without feeling embarrassed because they’re speaking incorrectly.
Speech therapy can help kids with sounds that have challenged them from a young age, like “k” and “g,” but it’s important not only for those; adults who want relief should consider going too!
What Are Speech Disorders?
A speech disorder happens when a child has a problem making sounds. Some of the common speech disorders include the following.
- Problems with making sounds from syllables or saying words incoherently such that no one understands them.
- Stuttering where the proper flow of speech is often interrupted with unusual stops or partial word repetitions or prolonging syllables and sounds.
- Problems with volume, pitch and the quality of the voice thereby distracting listeners from what is being said.
Note that, these types of disorders might result in discomfort or pain when your child is speaking.
