The earlier a problem is identified and treated, the better the outcome will be for your child.

Because communication delays can affect talking, understanding, playing, and social skills with others, early intervention is essential to successful intervention. When a child struggles with communication, they may display more frustration, throw more tantrums, or exhibit other behavioral issues that may have an effect on reading and future academic success in addition to communication development and peer interactions.

What Is The Approach?

bucks and montgomery county early intervention Services

We follow a parent-coaching model. While we are providing therapy to each child, we encourage parents and/or caregivers to take a hands-on approach. We love to teach you techniques during the sessions that help you continue therapy throughout the week in the child's natural environment. We also provide examples of how to incorporate different strategies into the child’s daily routines such as brushing teeth or bath time. We understand that every family is different and every child is different, so we create programs that are unique to your family’s situation.

Why Is Early Intervention Crucial To A Child's Development?

Commonly Asked Question:

Is it normal for a 3-year-old to not talk clearly?

If your child's speech is harder to understand than expected for their age, it is important to call a speech therapist for a possible screening or evaluation. Parents and regular caregivers should understand about 50% of a child's speech at 2 years and 75% of it at 3 years.
