Encouraging Every Child to Find Their Voice
Concerns about a child’s speech development, particularly if they are a ‘late talker’, are common among parents. At LEAP Centre, we understand these concerns and are here to offer expert support and guidance. Our team of speech therapists specialises in helping children who may be developing their speaking skills more slowly than typically expected.
Understanding 'Late Talkers'
A ‘late talker’ is a child who is developing understanding and use of non-verbal communication but has a limited spoken vocabulary for their age. It’s important to note that some late talkers may catch up to their peers without intervention. However, some may require additional support to boost their language skills.
