Why is it important…
Speech-language deficits are the most common of childhood disabilities and affect about 1 in 12 children.
The most critical period of speech and language development occurs between birth and age 5. At this time their brains are developing and absorbing the information they obtain from what they see, hear and touch.
It is a critical time to address any delays before the brain becomes “hard wired” and therapy becomes often less successful.
Assessing and treating children before entering school gives them time to adapt to their “new” speech and language patterns. Some children my not need to continue therapy after they enter school.
