Does my child need speech and language therapy?

How do I know if my child needs an evaluation by a speech and language pathologist?

  • Your newborn or infant is having trouble breast/bottle feeding and help from an IBCLC was not helpful.
  • Your infant or newborn was referred for a laser release of lip or tongue tie.
  • Your infant is not transitioning to cup or spoon feeding.
  • Your child has an open mouth posture or cannot stop using a pacifier or sucking thumb.
  • Your toddler has not started talking.

  • Your child’s voice is hoarse or raspy.
  • Your child is over 8 years old and has not mastered all the sounds of their language.

Patient Testimonials

These therapists have worked wonders for my son! We’d be lost without them!
PD

Within 5 minutes of our evaluation over a month ago, I knew this is where my son needed to be! Dr. Jen is incredibly knowledgeable! My son Ryan has been in Speech since 18 months old. 3-5 times a week. He is almost 5 now. In a few minutes of meeting him, Dr. Jen found a lip tie, buccal ties on each side, and very enlarged tonsils. She noticed SO many things, like how his tongue wasn’t moving properly when eating. Ryan’s been around therapist most of his life and NONE of this has ever once been mentioned. I took him to an ENT and word for word what Dr Jen said was 100% confirmed by him. She has been working with Ryan now for a bit over a month. We normally don’t see much progress is short amount of time but let me tell you, this boys speech has rocketed this month! Two syllable words finally, like Disney, Noodle, Dino are now regular words he says. Dr J also got him to say the “K” sound for the first time in his entire life. It has been really great and totally worth the drive to see her each week. I also really love that she sits with me at the end of every session to show me what they worked on and different tools she used to help. I wish more than anything we met her sooner because I know he is going to make so much progress! I can’t recommend her enough ❤️❤️ and already had 2 different friends reach out for an evaluation with her since we switched over. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed at all!!
