Speech doesn’t come first. Connection does. 💙
Speech therapy isn’t a magic switch. Before words, your child needs the foundation of communication.
Look for these early signs:
✔️ Eye contact during play
✔️ Pointing or using gestures
✔️ Responding to simple instructions
✔️ Joint attention
✔️ Trying to get your attention
✔️ Imitating actions or sounds
If you’re seeing these, your child is ready to build communication and that’s when speech therapy becomes truly effective.
