Children’s Speech and Language Services | Springfield

At Children’s Speech and Language Services in Springfield, we understand that it can be difficult to determine whether or not your child needs speech therapy. The best way to know if your child might benefit from speech therapy is to look for signs of difficulty with areas such as social communication, responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures like pointing, and understanding other people’s body language. We also understand that there is a critical period in the brain for language development, and so it is important to assess and intervene as early as possible. Our experienced speech therapists can help identify any delays and will provide effective ways to help your child communicate more confidently and independently. For more information on how we can help, please check out our complete guide to speech therapy.
