Normal Speech & Language Development: How to identify if your child has a speech delay, and where do we go from here? (Birth-5 years)  

 

Our objective for this workshop is to help parents learn the difference between normal language development vs. speech delays & impairments.

The development of communication skills is one of the most important milestones your child must go through. Difficulties acquiring speech and language according to developmental norms might indicate a speech and language delay; which can potentially lead to delays in later school-aged years.
