Last week I was at the playground with some mom friends and my two-year-old son. We ran into a mother and her daughter. The mother quickly told us that her daughter was two but was not talking yet. She asked, “Should I be concerned?”
Speech-language Screening vs. an Evaluation
What to Expect During a Speech Therapy Evaluation
Making the first move to schedule a speech-language evaluation is always a hurdle. However, scheduling an evaluation will answer many of your concerns about your child’s communication development. It will also allow you and the clinician to determine if there is a speech, language, or communication concern and, if needed, it will help you and the clinician develop a treatment plan. Whether you have or have not yet scheduled an evaluation it is important to understand what will happen so you can feel ready and more comfortable.
