In our previous article, we had written about how you can involve yourself in your children therapy program if they have speech or language difficulties.
Inside this article, we would like to give you other advices which might be useful for you if your children have speech or language difficulties.
The advices are as follows:
- Having a positive thought is good. Therefore, you can expect your children’s speech therapist does his/her job professionally. It means, your children’s therapist will treat both you and your children compassionately at all times.
- Probably you have a nervousness that your children will misbehave. You do not have to because a speech therapy has been trained and prepared for such situations. As a matter of fact, you can see how a speech therapy act, communicate and react with your children when they perform negative behavior. Thus, you can take a lesson from it.
- Inform all your disagreement to your children’s speech therapist in case you have them. A two-way communication will help both sides to conduct a better treatment.
- If you feel unsatisfied after you have a discussion with your children’s speech therapist, there are other things that you can do. Contact the supervisor of your children’s speech therapy. Discuss your problem with him/her in order to make things right.
Finally, you should remember you are the parent and not the speech therapist. A speech therapist is only providing a service for your children. You are the one who will be in contact with your children at most times.
Therefore, the more you understand about the therapy and what is being done with your children, the better the service of the therapy to fulfill your children‘s speech and language needs.
