Let’s Talk Why We Shouldn’t “Wait and See”…

While some well-meaning individuals suggest a wait-and-see approach for late talkers, researchers have found that delaying treatment for a late talker can result in a missed opportunity.

Early intervention services can result in more effective treatment and give both the toddler and family tools to increase positive communication and reduce frustration. It is best to take advantage of your toddler’s critical early years of learning. We recommend trusting your parental instincts and seeking out a speech and language screening if you have any questions or doubts about your child’s speech and language development.
