HOW DO I
KNOW IF MY
CHILD NEEDS A
SPEECH
THERAPIST
EARLY DETECTION
KENYA WATSON, M.A., CCC-SLP, NBCT
AS A PARENT, WE ALL WANT THE BEST FOR OUR CHILDREN. WE DO EVERYTHING WE
CAN TO MAKE SURE OUR CHILDREN HAVE EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED.
ALTHOUGH WE TRY OUR BEST, CHILDREN MAY STILL NEED THE HELP OF A THERAPIST
TO CORRECT A DELAY IN SPEECH/LANGUAGE SKILLS.
AS A SPEECH- LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST, I OFTEN GET ASKED BY PARENTS, “HOW DO I
KNOW IF MY CHILD NEEDS SPEECH THERAPY?” “WON’T MY CHILD JUST GROW OUT OF
IT?”
