Does This Sound Like Your Child?
They say “wabbit” for rabbit. They can read the words but can’t tell you what the story was about. They’ve stopped raising their hand in class.
If any of this sounds familiar — speech therapy can help.
“I knew something was off, but I didn’t know if it was a real problem.”
That’s the most common thing parents tell us. You notice things — your child avoids certain words, struggles with homework, or goes quiet in situations where they used to speak up. But you’re not sure if it’s worth looking into.
This checklist takes about 2 minutes. Compare your child’s skills to what’s expected for their age. There are no right or wrong answers — just honest observations.

These challenges don’t go away on their own.
By elementary school, speech and language patterns are established. A sound error that might have self-corrected earlier is unlikely to resolve on its own at age 7, 8, or beyond.
The impact goes beyond speech — it affects reading, writing, friendships, classroom participation, and your child’s confidence. The longer you wait, the harder it gets.
The good news? Most of these patterns are very treatable with the right support.
