Yes, speech therapy can be highly effective for late talkers, especially when it’s started early. A speech-language pathologist can help your daughter develop communication skills through tailored strategies that promote speech and language development. Early intervention often leads to the best outcomes.

At The Beacon Clinic LLC in Baltimore, we specialize in helping late talkers and can assess your daughter’s speech development to create a personalized treatment plan.

Feel free to reach out to schedule an evaluation or learn more about how we can support your daughter’s speech development.

Yes, speech therapy can help build speech skills in several areas, and often children find these sessions enjoyable and look forward to attending. I recommend speaking to your child's pediatrician about this concern to be sure there aren't other ideas to explore specific to your child.

Speech therapy can definitely help and early intervention is so important! Close the gap before it widens. I recommend having your child assessed. According to ASHA, at 19-24 months your child should use and understand at least 50 different words for food, toys, animals, and body parts. Your child should put two or more words together—like more water or go outside.

Yes! That is a large part of a Pediatric Speech Therapists job, is working with children who are late talkers. If shes two and not yet talking, I would recommend that she be evaluated by a Speech Therapist as soon as possible. :)
