Language Tip 🗣️
You don’t need to tell your child every time they make a language or articulation mistake. Nobody likes to be called out all the time! You can model correct language and articulation by repeating what your child said and emphasizing the correct language or articulation.

SPEECH AND LANGUAGE SCREENINGS

⭐️Speech and language screenings are a quick and easy way to determine if further evaluation in the areas of speech and language is warranted.

⭐️ Speech and language screenings can identify children at risk of speech and language delays and help them gain access to the services they need.

⭐️Daycares, preschools, and private schools can reach out to schedule screenings for their students.

⭐️Screenings are available for children three years of age and older.

⭐️Parents/caregivers must consent to the screenings.

⭐️Want to set your facility apart from others? Wonder if your students would benefit from speech language screenings? Question about who pays for these screenings? Are you a parent interested in a speech and language screening? Reach out today with any questions or to start the scheduling process!
