Here are signs that your child may benefit from a speech evaluation. If any of these sound familiar, trust your gut.
Your child isn't babbling or using gestures like pointing, waving, or reaching.
Your child uses fewer than 10 words and doesn't seem to understand simple requests like "come here."
Your child uses fewer than 50 words or isn't putting two words together yet (like "more milk" or "daddy go").
Family members have trouble understanding your child, or your child gets frustrated trying to communicate.
Getting started is simple. We walk you through every step.
Tell us about your child. We listen, answer your questions, and let you know if an evaluation makes sense.
Our therapist assesses your child's skills through play-based activities. You stay in the room the whole time.
We create a therapy plan built around your child's strengths. You'll know exactly what we're working on and why.
Your child works with a caring therapist while you learn strategies to practice at home. You're part of the team.
We track your child's progress and share updates with you regularly. Every child progresses at their own pace based on their unique needs.
Real families. Real progress.
"I was told to 'wait and see.' Six months later, nothing changed. We came to Speech Therapy Consulting and within 3 months, my son was putting 2-3 word phrases together. I wish we'd started sooner."— Sarah M., Dixon
"The therapists here made my daughter feel safe from day one. She went from barely talking to full sentences in less than a year. They also taught me what to do at home, which made a huge difference."— Maria L., Vacaville
"We were so worried. From the first phone call, they put us at ease. Our son loves going to therapy now. He's a completely different kid — confident, chatty, and happy."— James & Lisa R., Fairfield
Research shows children who start speech therapy early have the best outcomes. The sooner you start, the faster your child can catch up.
A late talker is a toddler (18-30 months) who understands language well but uses fewer words than expected for their age. About 10-20% of two-year-olds are late talkers. Some catch up on their own, but many benefit from early speech therapy.
Trust your instincts. If your child uses fewer than 50 words by age 2, isn't combining words, or is hard to understand by age 3, it's a good idea to get a professional opinion. A free consultation can give you clarity and peace of mind.
We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Shield, Aetna, Cigna, Tricare, and United Healthcare. We'll verify your benefits for free before your first visit so you know exactly what's covered.
Every child is different. Your therapist will give you a realistic timeline based on your child's evaluation. We track progress and adjust the plan as your child grows.
Yes, and we encourage it. For young children, we want parents in the room. We'll teach you strategies to practice at home, which helps your child make faster progress. You're an important part of the team.
We provide speech therapy in Dixon, Vacaville, Fairfield, Davis, West Sacramento, Woodland, and Winters. We offer both clinic-based and school-based services across Solano and Yolo counties.
We hear this a lot. While some children do catch up on their own, research shows that early intervention leads to better outcomes. Getting an evaluation doesn't commit you to anything — it just gives you information. And if your child does need help, starting early makes a real difference.
Let's help them find it. Schedule a free consultation today.
