Absolutely! There’s definitely no harm in at least going in for an evaluation so you can put your mind at ease! I’m glad it helped him!!! He’s such a cutie!

That’s awesome that it’s helped! I’m so glad we live in a time where we can get our kids help. I hope she finishes up soon!

Oliver was in speech (he did have hearing problems, though, and ear tubes helped substantially) until he turned three. We went through the school district, and it was amazing the difference it made. I’m a big fan of starting it early and as soon as you feel concerned. I actually wish I had gotten Oliver started earlier than we did (he was almost 2.5 at the time), but I think I was in denial a little bit. My brother and one of my nephews had amazing luck with early intervention as well. We quit because the district required that he start full-time preschool if he wanted to do it still, which we didn’t feel good about. We don’t have insurance (our health share won’t cover it), so we decided to stop. His therapist didn’t even think he’d probably qualify for the district stuff now. Anyways, it made a huge difference, and I would definitely encourage anyone who is concerned about their child’s speech at all to get it evaluated!

I was pretty sure she would need the services since she was not pronouncing things correctly. Her family could understand her for the most part, but others could not. I have noticed a big difference in her speech. We have to practice worksheets each week that she brings home. She’s doing so well and hopefully will be done with speech therapy soon!
