What Is Early Intervention Speech Therapy?
Early intervention speech therapy supports infants and toddlers who may be experiencing challenges with communication development. During the first three years of life, children rapidly develop skills related to gestures, play, understanding language, expressing wants and needs, speech sounds, and social interaction.
Therapy focuses on building meaningful communication through engaging, developmentally appropriate activities that follow the child’s interests and strengths.
