"As a Speech Language Pathologist a parent will call me, tell me what's going on, where are your concerns. If a parent says my child is three, three and a half and I can't understand them. Well come on in let's take a look. And then we will assess the child and see if the sounds that are in his age range are they developing normally or is there something more going on. Then we can determine if they need therapy or if really it's all typical and therapy is not needed and the child is just moving right along developmentally and you know just let the parent know this is where your child is. On the range of typically developing children that age. The length of time for each child or patient is different, depends on kind of a severity. It depends on how involved the family is because it's one of these things that children any patient if they get a little help all throughout the day, absolutely they're going to make gain a lot faster. Different programs that we're involved with as a child ages out we may not see them anymore but if they continue therapy and they choose to stay with us absolutely we'll be there. Earlier you recognize that there is something not quite right with a child. The sooner health is going to come, the sooner things are going to be corrected or the sooner that the child, the family is going to realize oh wait this isn't right, here let me help communicate facilitate communication. The easier it is, it's easier to help a child the sooner you identify there is a problem."
