Frequently Asked Questions — Wheeling Families

What's the difference between a speech delay and a language delay?

Speech refers to how sounds are produced (articulation, fluency). Language refers to the content and structure of communication (vocabulary, grammar, comprehension). Many children have one or the other; some have both. A speech-language evaluation tells you exactly what's going on.

How often should we come for therapy?

Most children with speech and language delays benefit from weekly sessions. Younger children with significant delays sometimes do better with twice-weekly sessions during early intensive periods. We always include parent strategies so progress continues between visits.
