My Child Talks a Lot — But Nobody Understands Them!
Why Early Support from a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist
Makes All the Difference
It can be frustrating and worrying when your child is chatty, full of ideas, and keen to communicate — but their speech sounds are unclear, making it hard for others to understand them. This is more common than you might think, and it doesn’t mean your child isn’t learning or trying. Every child develops speech at their own pace, but when speech is consistently unclear, early support can make a real difference.
Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) are trained experts in understanding how children communicate. They don’t just listen — they carefully assess speech, language, and communication skills using specialist tools and techniques. Through evidence-based assessments aligned with RCSLT guidance, SLTs can identify why speech may be unclear, whether it’s due to developmental differences, speech sound difficulties, or other underlying challenges.
Once the assessment is complete, SLTs provide personalised strategies and therapy tailored to your child. This may include direct therapy, training, parent coaching, or support using augmentative tools if needed. Early intervention is key: the sooner children get targeted, professional support, the better their outcomes in school, social settings, and everyday life. When supporting your child’s speech sounds, strategies must be used safely and consistently, with regular input from a qualified SLT. This ensures your child is getting the right support at the right time, in line with trusted RCSLT guidance.
With the right guidance, your child’s speech can become more intelligible, helping them feel confident, understood, and motivated to communicate. SLTs work closely with families and schools to ensure strategies are practical, consistent, and supportive — because every child deserves to be heard.
