Our office participated in a tiny duck hunt competition last week to get us through the last of our dark, and hopefully dreary, winter days. Department teams searched every nook and cranny of the clinic for tiny ducks cleverly hidden all around. A round of applause goes to the Speech Department for finding the most ducks!

Parents and daily caregivers often have a unique ability to understand emerging language and communication. It is often friends or extended family who are the first to notice concerns with potential speech delays.

Starting speech therapy early with a struggling child can build self confidence before frustration around not being understood impacts relationships with others and learning.

If you have questions or concerns with your child’s speech but unsure where to start, or wonder if speech therapy is appropriate for your little one; email Rebecca Williams, M.A., CCC-SLP rewilliams@luriechildrens.org
