Before you start searching for a speech therapist, you need to determine the type of therapy your kid needs. Do they have trouble pronouncing certain words? Do they have trouble understanding others? Do they have a problem with their oral-motor skills?<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
Once you know the type of therapy your kid needs, you can start to look for a speech pathologist who specialises in that area.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
