Never Wait to Have Your Child Evaluated for Communication Problems


Guest Post

ARE YOU WAITING TO SEE IF YOUR CHILD WILL OUTGROW WHAT YOU BELIEVE IS A DEVELOPMENTAL DELAY OR DO YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO IS?


Have you shared your concerns and feelings with family members, friends, and/or your family physician, and been told 



"GIVE IT TIME"
"JUST WAIT AND SEE"
"THEY'RE TOO YOUNG TO BE CONCERNED"


If you have questions about your child's development or know someone who does, please review and share this informational video!

Our goal is to spread this educational/inspirational video out into the hands of parents, therapists, doctors, and educators as we believe people should NEVER follow the advice "just wait and see/give it time".   
A consultation/evaluation with a speech pathologist will give parents the answers they are looking for.  It might be fine to wait, however, hearing that advice from a speech pathologist certified by the American Speech and Hearing Association is the best way to know for sure!!   Please take 10 minutes to view our video and then share it with ALL those you know!

Good advice, I agree.

Years ago I experienced the same doubt, fortunately my gut instinct adviced me the better, I'm really happy now.
