When to Consider a Screening
When Should You Be Concerned?
Most children should be easily understood by age 5. If your child is school-age and still struggling with certain sounds, a quick screening can help you understand whether speech therapy could make a difference.
You might consider a screening if your child:
- Is difficult for others to understand
- Is frequently asked to repeat themselves by teachers or relatives
- Uses speech patterns like “wabbit” instead of rabbit, or “thoap” instead of soap
- Has difficulty with sounds like R, S, L, TH, or blends like TR and PL
Why It Matters
How Speech Clarity Affects Your Child
Speech sound difficulties can show up in more areas than you might expect. When a child is hard to understand, it can affect their willingness to participate in class, their confidence with reading and spelling, and their comfort speaking up around friends. A brief screening is a simple first step toward understanding where your child stands — and whether support could help them thrive.
The Process
What to Expect
- 1. A casual 15-minute video call. We’ll hop on a brief, low-pressure call where our therapist will listen to your child speak, ask a few questions, and get a quick picture of how they’re communicating.
- 2. HIPAA-compliant and secure. The screening takes place on a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform — all from the comfort of your home.
- 3. Honest, straightforward feedback. After the screening, we’ll share our observations and let you know whether a full evaluation is recommended — no sales pitch, just honest guidance.
