Speech Therapy for Preschoolers
The preschool years bring rapid language growth as children learn to express complex thoughts, ask questions, and engage in conversations. This is also when articulation becomes clearer and children start preparing for the language demands of school.
Common Concerns
Signs to watch for in preschool
- !Speech that is difficult to understand
- !Trouble with specific sounds (r, s, l, th)
- !Difficulty putting sentences together
- !Limited vocabulary compared to peers
- !Trouble following directions
- !Stuttering or disfluent speech
- !Difficulty answering questions or telling stories
If you notice any of these signs, a speech-language evaluation can help determine if therapy would benefit your child.
