Communication
Is Key.
We Give Your Child the Tools to Connect.
Speech therapy is one of the most important things to help children prepare for the future. Children with untreated communication disorders can’t even succeed at the most basic levels of education and end up being combative and uncooperative.
More than just helping your child say words and sentences, speech therapy helps with reading, nonverbal cues and other communication methods beyond verbal expression. These skills enable your child to participate and respond to the world around them with confidence.

What Are the Signs My Child Needs Speech Therapy?

1
You and other people have trouble understanding your child
2
Others think your child is younger because of the way they speak
3
Your child is being teased about the way they talk
4
Your child has limited vocabulary compared to peers Your child is struggling with literacy skills
5
Your child’s play seems unusual
The team at Scottsdale Pediatric Behavioral Services includes speech and language assessments in their overall evaluation of your child. They use specific tests to measure your child’s skills and identify areas of weakness or potential disorders.
How Can Speech Therapy Help My Child?
Speech and language disorders can have a long term impact on your child’s life. They can interfere with their social development and ability to succeed academically. For example, a lisp might seem cute in a 3 year old but that lisp isn’t going to help an older child succeed. It could lead to low self confidence and underachievement throughout their life.
Speech therapy can help your child learn to communicate clearly and build the language skills they need to thrive in childhood, adolescence and adulthood.
