It’s a question we hear at every BBQ: “Should my child see a speech pathologist?” In this episode of Growing Up with A Growing Understanding Speech Pathology podcast, Practice Director Lauren Haskins sits down with Clinical Lead and Speech Pathologist Holly Graham-Hayes to unpack exactly when and why you might reach out for support.
You’ll learn why trusting your parental instincts is often the best first step, and how adopting a “support and see” approach, rather than waiting to see if they 'grow out of it' can make all the difference. Holly and Lauren discuss the common signs that it’s time to connect with a speech pathologist, explain how family involvement in all settings fuels progress, and share practical tips for choosing a service that truly aligns with your family’s needs and values.
They also introduce two essential resources to guide your next move: Does My Child Need a Speech Pathologist? (Communication & Feeding Milestones) and How to Choose a Speech Pathology Service.
