[quote=Anonymous]Both of my boys have done speech therapy for years. We did start and stop though because we moved to a different state. Speech therapy works best if whatever is being done in the sessions is also practiced at home. Just a couple sessions per month isn't enough to drive home the therapy. Kids will forget. It has to be practiced more frequently to make the change/improvement permanent. Its just like learning an instrument. You take a lesson weekly and then you go home and practice to get better. You should be getting "homework" during every session that needs to be worked on at home. If you aren't getting "homework", then I would ask for things that you should be doing at home to encourage improved speech.[/quote]
