Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. How do I know if my child needs Speech Therapy?
If your child has difficulty speaking clearly, has delayed speech, struggles to understand or use language, does not respond consistently to their name, or finds it difficult to communicate with others, a Speech and Language assessment is recommended. Early intervention can significantly improve communication, learning, and social interaction.
2. At what age should my child start Speech Therapy?
Children can benefit from Speech Therapy as early as 18–24 months if there are concerns about speech, language, or communication development. Starting therapy early often leads to better long-term outcomes and helps children build strong communication skills before they begin school.
3. Can Speech Therapy help children with Autism?
Yes. Speech Therapy plays an important role in supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Therapy focuses on improving language development, social communication, understanding instructions, play skills, and functional communication based on each child's individual needs.
4. Does Speech Therapy help children with ADHD?
Yes. Many children with ADHD experience difficulties with listening, following instructions, conversation skills, and expressive language. Speech and Language Therapy helps improve attention to communication, language organization, social interaction, and classroom participation.
5. How many Speech Therapy sessions will my child need?
The number of therapy sessions depends on your child's age, diagnosis, strengths, and communication goals. Following the assessment, our Speech and Language Therapist will recommend an individualized therapy plan and review your child's progress regularly.
6. What happens during the first Speech Therapy assessment?
The initial assessment usually lasts 45–60 minutes and includes evaluation of your child's speech, language, communication, play, oral motor skills (when required), and developmental abilities. Based on the findings, we discuss therapy goals and recommend an individualized intervention plan.
7. Will I receive activities to do at home?
Yes. Parent involvement is an essential part of successful Speech Therapy. After each session, our therapists provide practical home activities and strategies that can be easily incorporated into your child's daily routine to support faster progress.
