⭐5 Signs Your Child May Benefit from Speech Therapy⭐
As parents, it’s natural to wonder: “Is this something they’ll grow out of… or should I look into support?”
If you’ve had that thought, you’re not alone 💛
Here are 5 signs your child may benefit from speech therapy:
1️⃣ They have trouble expressing wants or needs
If your child gets frustrated because they can’t say what they want—even though they seem to understand—you may be seeing an expressive language delay.
2️⃣ Speech is hard for others to understand
If only close family can understand your child, or strangers frequently ask them to repeat themselves, speech clarity may need support.
3️⃣ They aren’t combining words by age 2–3
Most children begin putting words together (like “more juice” or “mommy go”) during toddlerhood. Difficulty doing this can be a sign to check in.
4️⃣ They struggle to follow directions
Trouble understanding simple directions may point to receptive language challenges—not behavior issues.
5️⃣ You have a gut feeling something isn’t quite right
Parents are often the first to notice. Trusting your instincts matters more than waiting to “see what happens.”
✨ Early support makes a difference—and speech therapy is play-based, supportive, and fun.
