Speech delay checklist
Common signs that a child may benefit from a speech-language evaluation.
Children develop language at different rates, but persistent difficulty being understood, limited words for age, or frustration communicating are reasons to seek guidance. A speech-language pathologist can assess articulation, language, and social communication.
How do I know if my child needs speech therapy?
If caregivers or teachers struggle to understand your child, vocabulary seems behind peers, or your child avoids talking, an evaluation can help clarify needs.
