Speech Therapy for Children
Clear targets, expert guidance, and engaging individualized therapy.
Your child is unique, and so are their therapy goals.
One question we hear a lot is, “Shouldn’t my kid be saying that sound by now?” Totally understandable. Kids hit speech milestones at their own pace, but researchers have looked at lots of kids to figure out average ages when certain sounds usually show up.
The chart below sums that up. It shows the typical ages when most children pick up particular consonant and vowel sounds. Remember, these are just averages, not hard rules. Some kids learn sounds earlier, others later, and both can still have normal speech.
If a child is still having trouble with certain sounds long after the typical age, it’s a good idea to talk with a speech-language pathologist to see if testing or help might be needed.

Where is the Speech Therapy treatment provided?
Speech therapy services are offered online for your convenience, allowing your child to receive skilled, personalized care from the comfort of your home. Teletherapy sessions are scheduled to fit your routine, using secure video technology to provide effective treatment, progress monitoring, and family coaching without the need to travel.
For clients located in and around Green Bay, Wisconsin, we also offer in-home evaluations. These home visits allow for comprehensive assessment in your natural environment, making it easier to observe real-life communication and daily living needs, tailor recommendations to your household, and involve caregivers directly in the therapy plan. After the evaluation, follow-up options include continued in-home visits when appropriate or transitioning to online therapy to maintain consistent progress.
Does your child’s speech need to catch up?
Before age 6, your child should have all their key speech sounds, including R, L and S. They should also be understood 100% of the time by unfamiliar people. Delayed speech can impact reading and writing skills, and self-confidence when communicating with friends and family. Speech therapy that pairs affordable one-on-one sessions with a personalized home-practice program helps your child make faster progress!
