Pediatric Speech Therapy
While Speech Therapy often helps children with trouble pronouncing certain sounds (such as those with lisps), it is not the only area of communication we address. In actuality, Speech Therapy is a broad field that can help with a variety of issues.
If your child’s teacher or pediatrician has recommended that you have him/her evaluated by a Speech Therapist, we can help. It’s perfectly natural to be concerned, but rest assured that Speech Therapy can work wonders for your child if they are experiencing a delay in their speech-language development. The Pediatric Speech Therapy Team at Delhi Hospital is here to help your child find their voice. We can evaluate possible delays in your child’s verbal development and create a customized plan to get your child back on track and “talking the talk”!
