St Peter's University Hospital

At St Peter’s University Hospital, we understand that it can be difficult to determine if your child needs speech therapy. That’s why we have developed a comprehensive guide to help parents understand the signs and benefits of speech therapy. Our guide covers topics such as: responding to questions, starting or ending conversation, changing conversation topics, using gestures, understanding body language, and the importance of early intervention. We provide detailed information about the critical period in the brain for language development and how speech therapy can help your child become more independent and confident. If you suspect your child may be struggling with speaking, our guide can offer valuable insight on how to get the help they need.
