Do Pediatricians Always Know Best?

When it comes to your child's speech and language development, they may not. At The Speech Space, we are lucky to collaborate with some great pediatricians and developmental pediatricians. However, this is not always the case. It's not uncommon for us to hear that someone's pediatrician recommended a "wait and see" approach. Unfortunately this is not always the best approach-- especially if some red flags for speech and/or language issues are present already. For instance if your child is 18 months old and has not yet started talking, this is a major red flag and a "wait and see" approach may not be beneficial for your child. Beginning therapy as early as possible is aways recommended to help more easily build up a child's skills and to close the gap with their same-aged peers. 

As a caregiver, you are your child's biggest and best advocate. If your gut is telling you something is not right, you should go with it! We always want our families to feel empowered to know what they can and should do for their child.

In every person that we will ask there is always a designated place that will address that concern that we have. The questions that we have in our minds will now have answers. There will be clarity that will remove any unwanted problems that might arise. Let us visit our pediatricians and grab the chance to ask the questions that are needed so that there will be solutions to the problem. It will be that easy to think of.
