🎒 Back-to-School Season: The Perfect Time to Prioritize Speech & Language Support

ree

As summer winds down and families adjust to new schedules, routines, and classroom expectations, it’s important to take a moment to assess how your child is communicating, connecting, and thriving in their academic and social world.


At tuLIPS Speech Therapy, we believe back-to-school is more than just pencils and backpacks — it’s an opportunity to check in on developmental milestones and give children the tools they need to succeed.



🌟 Why Now Is the Right Time for Speech Therapy


Whether your child is starting preschool, transitioning into elementary school, or navigating middle or high school, communication plays a critical role in:


  • 📖 Literacy development

  • 🗣️ Self-expression & confidence

  • 👯 Making friends and socializing

  • 🧠 Academic achievement



Children with speech or language challenges may begin to feel frustrated or isolated as new school demands emerge. Early support can reduce stress and build lasting communication skills for the classroom and beyond.



🧠 How to Know If Your Child May Benefit from Speech Therapy


Speech and language delays can look different depending on age. Some signs to look out for:


Preschool–Early Elementary:


  • Difficulty pronouncing certain sounds (e.g., R, L, S, TH)

  • Trouble following directions

  • Limited vocabulary for their age

  • Stuttering or struggling to get words out



Upper Elementary–Teen Years:


  • Trouble organizing thoughts or telling stories

  • Misunderstanding figurative language or sarcasm

  • Difficulty with reading comprehension or written expression

  • Avoiding speaking in class or social situations


If any of these feel familiar, don’t wait. The earlier a child receives support, the more confident and successful they can become in both academic and personal environments.
