How to Tell If Your Child Needs Speech Therapy

Worried your child might be falling behind in communication? You’re not alone. Many parents wonder if their child’s speech or language development is on track—or if it’s time to get support.

Here are some signs to look for:

• Limited vocabulary for their age

• Difficulty combining words into sentences

• Struggles to follow directions or answer questions

• Frequent frustration when trying to communicate

• Speech that’s hard for others to understand

Early intervention matters. A speech delay doesn't always mean a long-term issue—but the earlier it's addressed, the better the outcome.

At The SLP Therapy Lab, we offer no-pressure consultations to assess where your child stands and what support (if any) might help.
