Do you have concerns about your child’s communication skills and/or how they pronounce their words? You may have been told to “wait and see”, but early action can make a world of difference!

Research consistently shows that the sooner a child with a communication difficulty receives professional support, the better their long-term outcomes. Early intervention helps build a strong foundation for clear communication, literacy, and social skills.

If you have concerns about your child’s ability to,

-be understood by unfamiliar listeners

-form specific sounds (pronunciation)

-use words to communicate needs

-follow simple directions,

then it is best to consult with a speech language pathologist.

At Birchwood Psychology we provide private SLP services to toddlers (18 months+), preschoolers, and school-aged children.

Call to book a consultation at 902 304 5527!
