Speech, Language, Swallowing, and Voice Therapy for Children & Adults

Every child develops speech at their own pace, but it is important to be aware of some early signs. If your child has not started using simple words by 18 months, is not putting two or more words together by age 2, or is not easily understood by others by age 3, it may be a sign that further support is needed. This does not immediately mean that there is something serious, but the earlier the situation is assessed, the better we can help the child progress. Often, early intervention through speech therapy helps overcome these difficulties and promote healthy speech development. If you have concerns, do not hesitate to seek a consultation. It is better to ask early than to wait. We are here to offer you reassurance, guidance, and thoughtful support every step of the way.

This is one of the most frequently asked and most important questions that parents have – and rightly so. Every child develops differently, but there are some milestones that help us understand whether speech and comprehension development is within the norm. If you notice that your child: - Does not use first words by 12–18 months of age, - Has difficulty forming sentences after age 2, - Has unclear pronunciation that makes it hard for others to understand, - Does not respond to simple commands or gestures, then it's the right time to seek an evaluation from a speech therapist. Early intervention is key to helping a child develop their abilities in the best possible way. Even if everything turns out to be within the norm, a consultation with a speech therapist offers peace of mind and valuable guidance at this important stage of your child's life. We are here to listen, understand, and support you every step of the way.
