Giving Thanks For Expressive Language Progress

Cooper is our star of the month. Cooper is great kid. He's the kind of kid who lights up the clinic with his personality and his inquisitive nature. When he comes to Kidmunicate for therapy, he makes his rounds and talks to everyone in the office. And he's a great conversationalist too because he's genuinely interested in learning more about the people he's talking to. I guess he innately knows that people love to talk about themselves. Perhaps that's why so many people love Cooper. This was not always the case. Before Cooper started therapy, he was not much of [...]

Speech Therapy Options Free and Paid

My 20 month old daughter seems to be behind in speaking compared to her 18 month old cousin. What should I do and if needed where should I look to for speech therapy options free and paid? (Megan P of three girls) First of all, language and speech development varies from child to child, so it’s never a good idea to compare your child with another to base concerns. Secondly, there is no age too young to start evaluating speech and language issues if the signs are there. Always remember, early intervention leads to the best long-term results. Finally, speech [...]

What is the percentage of kids with speech or language problems?

What is the percentage of kids with speech or language problems? (Question asked by Heather H, mom of a 3 year old boy) Heather recently took her son to the pediatrician for a routine check up.
