An occupational therapist and a psychologist are also on board with the team for their comprehensive analysis.

When should you refer to a speech and language therapist?
There can be many reasons for a child to be referred for speech or language therapy. Many families are mistakenly neglectful towards their child’s speech-related problems and do not seek professional care timely. The parents are often focused on the child’s other medical conditions or therapy needs that they overlook the fact that speech and language therapy is their child’s immediate need.
