Speech therapy plays a crucial role in helping children improve their ability to communicate specific sounds. Through targeted exercises and activities, we identify and address sound production challenges. Our commitment to research-based methods ensures that each child receives the highest quality of care tailored to their unique needs. We incorporate techniques to motivate children, learning both fun and effective. As a result, children gain confidence in their speech skills, leading to clearer communication. Overall, speech therapy can significantly enhance a child's ability to express themselves and connect with others.
Take a Brief Look at Speech Milestones
1. By 12 months: Babies typically produce a variety of cooing and babbling sounds, experimenting with different pitches and volumes.
2. By 18 months: Children begin to produce more distinct sounds, such as /m/, /b/, and /p/, with clearer articulation during babbling.
3. By 2 years: Most children can produce sounds like /n/, /t/, andk/, and may start to combine them in simple syllables.
4. By 3 years: Children can typically articulate sounds such as /d/, /g/, /h/ clearly and may begin to use more complex sound combinations.
5. By 4 years: Most children can produce the majority speech sounds correctly, including /s/, /f/, and /l/, with only a couple of sounds still developing.
