What is Speech & Language Therapy?

It's common to think it's just about 'not talking'. In reality, it covers the entire spectrum of human communication.

Understanding

Processing instructions, learning vocabulary, and making sense of the world.

Social Interaction

Understanding non-verbal cues, maintaining eye contact, and turn-taking.

Speech vs Language vs Communication

Understanding the distinct areas we address during intervention.

Speech

The physical production of sound — articulation, clarity, fluency (stuttering), and pronunciation patterns.

Language

The meaning behind words — expressive use of vocabulary/grammar and receptive understanding of spoken information.

Communication

The social context of interaction — gestures, eye contact, joint attention, and understanding social expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions

My child isn't talking yet. Should I wait?
Early intervention is key. Waiting and seeing can often delay progress. If you have concerns about milestones, a professional screening is the best first step.
Does a speech delay mean my child has Autism?
Not necessarily. While communication challenges are a trait of Autism, speech delays occur for many reasons. An assessment helps differentiate between language production and social communication needs.
We speak two languages at home. Is this causing the delay?
Research shows bilingualism does NOT cause speech delays. However, bilingual children may distribute their vocabulary across both languages.
