Our recommendation:

• Therapy should begin as soon as possible.
• If your kid starts speech therapy early before they are 5 years old tend to have better results than those who begin later.
• This doesn’t mean that older kids won’t do well in therapy. Their progress might be slower, though, because they have learned patterns that need to be changed.
