Parent-to-Parent: How has therapy helped?

Communication Disorders Are Treatable

There are many pathways to, and through, speech-language therapy.  Finding the "right" intervention (be it a good fit with a speech-language pathologist, an intervention approach that clicks, a great team of professionals working together, etc.) can be life-altering.  The big message is that communication disorders are treatable!  And usually, the earlier problems are identified and treated with appropriate interventions, the better the outcomes.  There can be a lot of emotions along the way.  This Better Hearing and Speech Month, I invite you to share how speech-language therapy has helped your child (or you).  There are many positives that can come out of therapy.  Big or small, let's celebrate them!

In therapy this week, I am talking with 'my kids' (clients) about how we are working on becoming better communicators.  Have you seen the photos of our craftivity (I picked up from Cooking Up Good Speech) I posted on facebook?  If not, you can check them out here.  Now it's your turn!
