When to Seek Help?

My child does not speak like other children of his/her age
My child does not follow directions well and has a hard time explaining things
My child stutters
My child’s voice sounds rough raspy or hard to hear and he/she gets tired of talking by the end of the day
My child has problems understanding what people say
My child needs help with feeding – for example, my baby has a cleft palate
My child has problems swallowing
My child has an intellectual disability and needs help finding alternative ways to communicate
My child has a history of ear infections and I am worried about his/her communication

If any of these reasons apply to you or your child, you may need to contact a speech/language pathologist.
