When it comes to your child and their needs, you no doubt want to pick the best
possible Speech-Language Pathologist– but where do you start? It can be an
overwhelming process if you don’t know what to look for. Read on for 3 characteristics
you can look for in a Speech-Language Pathologist to insure your child has the very
best care.
1. Experience
According to The Hanen Centre, “A good SLP should know what kind of
treatment is best for your child”. Finding an SLP that has experience working with
Pediatrics and with your child’s diagnosis is crucial. Treatment is going to be different
for each child, so a good SLP needs to be knowledgeable and flexible in applying their
skills. A good SLP also keeps up with current treatment approaches. (Great Speech).
2. Family-Oriented Therapy Focus
A parent plays the largest role in a child’s life. Therefore, it is critical that the
child’s guardian(s) be directly involved in decision-making and involved in their child’s
therapeutic process. A good SLP knows this, is eager to treat the parent as a partner in
the child’s therapy, and is able to instill confidence in the parent (The Hanen Centre).
3. Adaptable, Innovative & Compassionate
Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologists work with children of all different ages,
and with all different diagnoses and needs. A compassionate, innovative, and adaptable
SLP will be able to connect well with YOUR child, tailoring the treatment to their needs
and learning along the way. This allows the child to be comfortable and cared for in the
way the treatment necessitates.
