Communication Starts Here—With Care That Meets You Where You Are

Did your child struggle this past school year with comprehension or spelling? Did you know that getting a speech and language evaluation and therapy sessions to address those areas are typically covered by your medical insurance? stop paying out of pocket for expensive tutors and make an appointment today! Even better, we visit day camps locally so you don't have to bring your child anywhere after work hours.

Speech Language Pathologists are highly trained in the area of language processing in the brain, as well as developmental language and its impact on literacy, as well as pathologies such as dyslexia, processing disorders, and phonemic awareness and manipulation difficulties that impact spelling and reading.

Get in touch today to help your child stay ahead of the curve this summer!

Okay, even I can admit preschoolers who tell me they ¨wuv waweepops¨ are adorable. So, when is it no longer appropriate to think this sweet pronunciation problem is okay? When phonological processes—like my example above of gliding, or other errors like fronting (doe for go), stopping (tun for sun), or cluster reduction (tar for star)—persist beyond the expected age, they can signal underlying difficulties in phonological awareness, a foundational skill for reading.
Research has shown that children with persistent phonological processes are at a higher risk for reading difficulties, especially if these speech issues are linked to deficits in phonological awareness. These children may struggle with:

*Sound-letter correspondence
*Blending and segmenting sounds in words
*Learning sight words
*Reading fluency and spelling

Co-occurrence is not guaranteed, but when phonological processes persist past age 4.5 or so, a comprehensive assessment of phonological awareness and early literacy skills is recommended. This ensures that any emerging or underlying reading challenges are addressed early.

Intervention targeting both speech production and phonological awareness (e.g., rhyming, initial sound identification, segmenting, and blending) has been shown to be effective in supporting both speech clarity and reading development.

A quick look at what age children typically master sounds in their speech. By the age of four your child should be understood by everyone (including adults in the community) between 80 and 100% of the time.

"Oh well you know, her dad was a 'late talker' too".. I hear this ALL. THE. TIME. Pediatrician offices screen for developmental milestones and often this one gets glossed over by doctors and well-meaning grandparents.. the reality is that the window for early intervention in the area of speech and language is small, and it's so important to give your child every little boost you can! Research is abundant in the area of early speech and language skills and how they predict a child's ability to communicate and comprehend throughout the rest of their childhood (and in some cases beyond). Want to know what they should be doing and when they should be doing it by? Check out our milestones page on the website: www.pointspeechpathology.com

As a mom of four, I completely understand that it can feel impossible to get everyone to all of the things and all of the places.

At Point Speech Pathology, we meet your child where they are, when it's most convenient for you! Because we are a licensed and insured medical practice, we can visit preschools and daycares in the community- this means your child can receive the help they need in a comfortable environment, all while you are at work! Check out the website for information on insurance coverage for speech/language therapy- www.pointspeechpathology.com/services-fees

**Think your child could use a boost in the area of speech and/or language skills but not entirely sure what constitutes intervention? Contact us today to schedule a free screening .

Early intervention is especially important in the homeschool environment because speech and language difficulties can affect other areas of learning, such as reading and writing. The personalized nature of homeschooling allows parents to closely observe their child’s communication abilities and spot any red flags early on.
One of the biggest benefits of addressing speech and language challenges in a homeschooling environment is the ability to collaborate to enhance both the educational and therapeutic approach. Since homeschooling allows for one-on-one attention, parents can closely monitor progress, provide immediate feedback, and reinforce speech therapy exercises throughout the day.
With a variety of service models for homeschooling families, Point Speech Pathology is ready to help your child reach their communication potential!
