Question 1

How many words should my child be saying at 2 years old?

Accepted Answer

By age 2, most children use at least 50 words and are starting to combine two words together (like 'more milk' or 'daddy go'). If your child uses fewer than 50 words at age 2, a language evaluation can determine if they need support.

Question 2

My child understands everything but barely talks. Should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

This is common in 'late talkers.' While some late talkers do catch up on their own, research shows that early intervention leads to better outcomes. A brief evaluation can help determine whether your child would benefit from therapy or monitoring.

Question 3

Will reading to my child more help their language development?

Accepted Answer

Yes — shared book reading is one of the most powerful language-building activities you can do. We'll show you specific interactive reading techniques that maximize language learning during story time.

Question 4

Is it normal for bilingual children to have language delays?

Accepted Answer

Bilingual children may develop language differently but should not have significant delays. If your child is struggling in both languages, a bilingual evaluation (which we offer in English, Hebrew, and Spanish) can help determine if therapy is needed.

Question 5

How long until I see progress?

Accepted Answer

Most families notice improvements within 4-8 weeks of consistent therapy, especially when home strategies are practiced regularly. Significant progress is typically visible within 3-6 months.

Question 6

What's the difference between speech therapy and language therapy?

Accepted Answer

Speech therapy focuses on sound production (clarity of speech). Language therapy focuses on understanding and using words and sentences. Many children benefit from both, and our evaluation identifies exactly what your child needs.
