Speech Therapy FAQ's
How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?
By age 2, most children understand greater than 300 words. If your child has trouble understanding basic sentences, such as “grab your coat,” it may be time to see a speech therapist.
Can too much TV cause speech delay?
Researchers have found that the more screen time a child’s parent reported, the more likely the child was to have a delay in expressive speech. For each 30-minute increase in handheld screen time, researchers found a 49% increased risk of expressive speech delay.
Can a child with speech delays catch up?
They may receive a language disorder diagnosis. Still, between 70–80% of Late Talkers seem to catch up to their peers by entering school. Sometimes these children are called “late bloomers” because they eventually seem to catch up to other children their age.
Is Delayed speech a sign of autism?
Parents of children with autism often report delayed speech as their first concern. Still, a speech delay is not specific to autism. Delayed speech is also present in young children with a global developmental delay caused by intellectual disability and severe to profound hearing loss.
