Is this for my child?
- Late talking or limited words
- Unclear speech or articulation difficulty
- Autism-related communication concerns
- Non-verbal or minimally verbal communication
How long does it take?
- Many speech goals need 10-16 weeks of consistent sessions and home practice before meaningful review.
