Free Speech, Language and Hearing Screening for Kids and Teens

​​​​​Are you concerned about whether your child’s speech and language are on track?
Do you think your child may be struggling with reading or writing?

Childhood language problems are common, but they often go unrecognized. Children with language problems may show their frustration by acting out, becoming very quiet in social situations or having difficulty following directions or staying on task. You can find out about other signs to look for at different ages in our article. It is important to know if your child struggles with speech, language or hearing so you can get them the help they need at home and in school.
