How Long Does A Person Need Speech Therapy?
Severity of Speech Disorder: More severe speech disorders like apraxia of speech or articulation difficulties might require a longer duration of therapy compared to mild speech delays.
Age of the Individual: Children tend to progress faster than adults in speech therapy due to their greater neuroplasticity (brain’s ability to change and adapt).
Frequency of Therapy Sessions: The frequency of therapy sessions significantly impacts the overall duration. Weekly sessions will likely show faster results compared to bi-weekly or monthly sessions.
Underlying Medical Conditions: If a speech disorder stems from an underlying medical condition, managing that condition will also play a role in determining the length of therapy.
Treatment Goals: The specific goals set for therapy will influence its duration. Reaching basic communication skills might take less time compared to achieving fluency and complex speech patterns.
Individual Progress and Response to Therapy: Each person progresses at their own pace. Our therapist will adjust the duration based on your responsiveness and progress towards set goals.
