Does my child need speech therapy, or more time?

The most common advice families hear is to wait. Sometimes that is right. Often it is how a preschool language gap becomes a kindergarten crisis.

Ask three questions. Can unfamiliar adults understand your child? Can your child follow two-step directions without watching your face for clues? Has anything new appeared in the last three months, or has growth stalled?

If two of those answers worry you, a free phone consultation is a better next step than another six months of hoping. Summit Speech Therapy evaluates speech, language, feeding, and oral function for children across Davis, Salt Lake, and Weber counties, without a hospital wait list.
