At Beacon Pediatric Therapy our speech therapy services strive to improve your child’s ability to communicate and understand language in order to build meaningful relationships and express themselves fully.
Does my child need speech therapy?
- Does your child produce sounds incorrectly?
- Are sounds omitted or missed in words when your child speaks?
- Does your child struggle to follow directions?
- Does your child respond to questions incorrectly?
- Does your child have difficulty pointing to pictures and labeling or naming them?
- Does your child use gestures to communicate or have difficulty using words to request what they want?
- Does your child use grammar inaccurately?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions your child would benefit from a speech therapy evaluation. An evaluation at Beacon Pediatric Therapy includes a comprehensive review of your child’s developmental and medical history.
