Pediatric Speech Therapy in Buford, GA
Why Pediatric Speech Therapy?
Your child has ideas they want to share, but this can be challenging if they struggle with speech or language. At TLC Therapy Services, we offer pediatric speech therapy that is engaging and effective to help your child find their voice.
Our compassionate team can help your child build the communication skills they need to connect more deeply with friends and family. We’re dedicated to supporting your child’s growth and empowering them to communicate effectively.
What Is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy is a treatment that helps children develop the speech and language skills they need to be able to communicate with others easily. While “speech” and “language” may sound similar, they address different parts of communication:
- Speech requires the ability to produce sounds clearly, control volume, and speak with fluency and accuracy.
- Language refers to using words to express ideas, needs, and thoughts, as well as understanding the ideas expressed by others.
We handle both speech and language concerns. Whether your child needs support with pronunciation, comprehension, social language, or stuttering, our expert therapists can help them reach their full potential.
Signs That Your Child Might Benefit From Speech Therapy
Your child may benefit from speech therapy if they show any of the following signs of a speech or language challenge:
- Difficulty pronouncing sounds or words
- Limited vocabulary for their age
- Trouble understanding or following directions
- Struggles with expressing thoughts or ideas
- Frequent stuttering or pausing while speaking
- Difficulty with social communication or eye contact
- Frustration when attempting to speak or communicate
- Others often struggle to understand what your child is saying
- Trouble understanding jokes, idioms, or sarcasm
- Challenges with memory or focus
- Difficulty telling a story from beginning to end
What to Expect During Your Child's First Speech Therapy Appointment
Your child’s first speech therapy appointment will be a one-hour evaluation from our expert speech-language pathologist (SLP). During this appointment, we’ll speak with you and your child to understand your concerns, ask questions about their development, and assess their speech and language skills.
At the end of the evaluation, our SLP will discuss their findings with you and recommend a treatment plan designed to support your child’s unique goals. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of what challenges your child is facing and how therapy will help them.
