A Balanced Child | McAllen

At A Balanced Child in McAllen, we understand the importance of early intervention and the critical period in the brain for language development. That’s why we recommend speech therapy for any child who is having difficulty with social communication. It’s not always obvious when a child needs speech therapy, as they may be very verbal and say a lot of words but still require help with responding to questions, starting and ending conversations, changing topics, understanding body language and using gestures. Our team of specialists will assess your child and provide effective ways to help them communicate and grow into more independent and confident individuals.
