Hearing and Speech

8/19/2018

0 Comments

 
​This week is National Speech Pathology Week! (Aug 19-25)

We often see children who have been referred to us by their speech pathologists because of concerns for their language and/or speech. Sometimes it's because of pronunciation difficulties, other times it is from delays in their language skills. Speech and language development is heavily reliant on a child's ability to hear what is being said around them (1) and early intervention is key to improving language outcomes in children with hearing problems (2).

If you have any concerns with your child's hearing, feel free to contact the clinic to arrange a comprehensive assessment by one of our audiologists.
