Frequently Asked Questions
What are common signs that someone may need Speech Therapy?
Signs include difficulty pronouncing words, struggling to form sentences, stuttering, hoarseness, voice strain, or challenges with swallowing food or liquids.
At what age should a child start Speech Therapy?
Early intervention is key! If a child isn’t meeting speech milestones by age 2 or has difficulty with articulation, a speech therapist can help assess and support language development.
How does Speech Therapy help adults after a stroke?
Stroke survivors may experience aphasia (difficulty understanding or expressing language) or dysphagia (difficulty swallowing). Speech Therapy helps restore communication skills and safe swallowing techniques.
Can Speech Therapy help with social communication?
Yes! Speech therapists assist individuals with autism or social communication disorders in improving conversation skills, understanding nonverbal cues, and developing confidence in social settings.
Do I need a referral for Speech Therapy?
It depends on your healthcare provider and insurance plan. Some require a doctor’s referral, while others allow direct scheduling with a speech therapist.
