Speech therapy focuses on communication skills—like speech sounds, language, social interaction, and feeding/swallowing. Occupational therapy (OT) helps children develop skills for daily activities like writing, dressing, playing, and regulating emotions.

Children and teens may benefit from speech language therapy if they are having difficulty communicating, understanding, or being understood. You might consider a speech-language evaluation if your child is experiencing any of the following: Speech Sound Delays or Disorders Hard to understand compared to peers Frequent sound errors (e.g., “tat” for “cat,” “wed” for “red”) Speech that sounds slurred, mumbled, or unclear Language Delays (Understanding and Expressing Ideas) Limited vocabulary for age Trouble following directions, answering questions, or telling stories Difficulty expressing needs, ideas, or emotions clearly Social Communication Challenges (Pragmatics) Struggles with conversation skills (e.g., taking turns, staying on topic) Difficulty understanding body language, facial expressions, or social rules Trouble making or keeping friends Stuttering or Fluency Difficulties Repeats sounds, words, or phrases frequently Gets “stuck” on words or has blocks when speaking Avoids speaking due to frustration or anxiety View communication milestones here. If you notice your child struggling in any of these areas—whether they’re a toddler learning first words or a teen navigating social situations—a speech-language evaluation may be helpful. Early support often leads to better outcomes.
