Who Can Benefit from Speech and Language Therapy

EmpowerED’s speech and language therapy services are ideal for children facing challenges such as:

  • Delayed speech development, such as difficulty forming sentences, limited vocabulary, or rarely attempting to communicate verbally or nonverbally.
  • Challenges understanding spoken language, including trouble following directions, grasping concepts, or interpreting age-appropriate ideas.
  • Pronunciation difficulties, such as unclear speech, mispronounced sounds (e.g., "r," "s," "l"), or speech that is hard to understand.
  • Social communication struggles, including trouble maintaining conversations, using language appropriately, or interpreting social cues like tone and body language.
  • Fluency issues, such as stuttering, repeating sounds or words, or frequently pausing while speaking.

If your child shows signs of difficulty in any of these areas, EmpowerED’s Speech & Language Therapy is here to help them build the skills they need to thrive.

At what age should I consider speech therapy for my child?
Speech and language therapy can begin as early as 18 months if delays are noticeable. Early intervention is key, but therapy can also be highly effective for older children who exhibit challenges in communication or social skills.
How long does it take to see progress in speech therapy?
Progress depends on the child's specific needs and goals. Some children may show improvement within a few weeks, while others may require months of consistent therapy to achieve noticeable results. Regular practice at home can accelerate progress.
Will I need to do activities at home to support therapy?
Yes, parental involvement is vital for success. Therapists provide tailored exercises and activities for practice at home, reinforcing the skills learned during sessions. This collaboration helps speed up progress and ensures lasting results.
Can speech therapy address social communication difficulties?
Absolutely. Speech therapy includes activities to improve social communication, such as maintaining eye contact, turn-taking in conversations, and understanding non-verbal cues. These skills help children build meaningful relationships and succeed in social settings.
