Speech Teletherapy

At Little Red Wagon Pediatric Therapy, we provide speech teletherapy to aid individuals in overcoming communication difficulties that may impact their ability to develope relationships and interact with others on a day-to-day basis. These difficulties include, but are not limited to, the following:

Late talkers

Articulation/Phonology Disorders: Difficulties with the way sounds are formed. If your child struggles with this, it is likely others have a hard time understanding them.

Childhood Apraxia of Speech: These children have difficulty with the motor planning of speech productions. They are highly unintelligible and might appear to try really hard to communicate but they are unable to.

Receptive/Expressive Language Disorders (vocabulary, comprehension, sentence structures, etc.): If you child struggles with this, they may have difficulties following directions, paying attention to tasks, do not use as many words as other children or have difficulty combining words into sentences.

Fluency (Stuttering): Your child might have disruption in the flow of speech and repeat syllables, words or phrases resulting in unnatural speech. Parents often describe their child getting “stuck” on words.

Pragmatic/Social communication: Difficulty understanding the “social” rules of language, such as humor, personal space/boundaries and conversational rules

Are you unsure if speech therapy is what your child needs?

See below for a brief timeline of when your child should reach certain speech milestones.

12 months of age: Your child will speak their first word and should soon after have a 2-6 word vocabulary, beyond “mama” and “dada.”

18 months: Your child should be speaking approximately 50 words on a regular basis.

18-24 months: Your child will begin combining words.

24-30 months: Your child should have 200-300 words in their vocabulary by now.

2 years: Your child should be 50 percent intelligible to an unknown listener.

Pediatric Occupational Teletherapy

Pediatric Occupational therapy is something that may be able to improve and expand your child’s skill sets and prepare them for success now and well into the future. If you’d like to learn more about the benefits of pediatric occupational therapy, here is a great resource from The American Occupational Therapy Association, Inc.

Is Occupational TeleTherapy a fit for my child?

Sometimes, children need help to strengthen their hand muscles before learning how to tie their shoes, or they need to be exposed to new and messy activities to become accustomed to coping with situations they may run in to on a daily basis.

If you’re not sure if the difficulties your child is facing are normal, look below at some of the common issues that can be addressed with occupational therapy.

Difficulty winding down or self-calming

Clumsy or uncoordinated

Avoids movement (dislikes swings, etc.) or seeks out excessive movement (frequently jumping, crashing, etc.)

Difficulties with transition and/or changes in routine

Difficulties self-dressing, feeding themselves or other difficulties with fine motor skills

Handwriting appear messy and ineligible
