Frequently Asked Questions

How often does my child need speech therapy?
Typically 1-3 sessions per week, each lasting 30-60 minutes. Frequency depends on your child's needs and goals.
What is AAC and does my child need it?
AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) includes tools like picture boards and speech-generating devices. It can help children who are non-speaking or have limited speech communicate more effectively.
Can speech therapy help with social skills?
Yes. SLPs address pragmatic language skills including conversation, understanding social cues, and appropriate communication in different settings.
How long until I see progress?
Every child is different. Some show progress within weeks, while others take months. Consistent practice at home significantly improves outcomes.
