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!
Parent-to-Parent: how has therapy helped your child/family? Any pearls of wisdom you have learned along your journey? Please leave a comment and share!
