When Should I Get My Child Evaluated?

Every child develops at their own pace, but some signs are worth a closer look: limited words by 18–24 months, speech that is hard for family or teachers to understand, frustration when trying to communicate, mouth breathing, or difficulty with feeding. If your child was told they don't "qualify" for services through Early Intervention or your school district, private speech therapy can still help. At TapTalk SLP, pediatric speech therapy happens in your home across Buffalo and Western New York, or by telehealth, so your child learns in a familiar, comfortable setting. Call 716-444-3822 for a free 15-minute consultation.
