Frequently Asked Questions

Early intervention is key in speech and language development. Starting speech therapy as early as when speech or language delays are first noticed can lead to more effective outcomes.

Indicators for speech therapy include delayed speech milestones, difficulty forming words or sentences, and challenges in understanding or following directions. A speech pathologist can conduct an assessment to determine the need for therapy.

A speech therapist or speech-language pathologist is sought after for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to articulation issues, fluency disorders, receptive and expressive language delays, and supporting literacy programs.

The frequency of speech therapy sessions can vary based on individual needs. A speech language pathologist will create a tailored plan, which can range from once to multiple times a week.

While each child develops at their own pace, unclear speech at 3 years old can be a sign to consult a speech pathologist for an evaluation to rule out any underlying issues.

Speech difficulties in 4-year-olds are not uncommon. Early assessment and intervention by a speech-language pathologist can address and alleviate these challenges effectively.

By age 2, most children can say 50 or more words and start combining two words to form simple sentences. Significant deviations from these milestones might indicate the need for a consultation with a speech therapist.

Yes, speech therapy has been proven to significantly help children in improving their communication skills, speech clarity, and language understanding, enhancing their overall development.

Absolutely! School-based speech therapy focuses on addressing communication challenges in the academic setting, home-based therapy can help reinforce skills learned at school and address communication needs in other environments, such as home and community settings. Additionally, home-based therapy can provide more individualized attention and target specific communication challenges your child may face outside of school.

Yes! You don't have to wait until your child is more delayed before you get intervention. Benchmark Pediatrics is considered an out of network provider with all insurance carriers.
