3 Reasons to Do Speech Therapy in Calgary this Summer

Have you thought about starting speech therapy in Calgary this summer for your child? As the days slowly get warmer in Calgary, parents start to think about how their child is going to spend their Summer days while school is out. Here are three reasons why doing speech therapy over the Summer can be a great idea:

1) Easier to book sessions - During the school year, it can be challenging to find a time that works for your child and family to book a session. The after-school therapy slots tend to be popular and book up fast! During the summer, you could book during the day which makes it easier for your schedule and the therapist's.

2) More time to focus on home practice - No school also means no other homework to worry about. Sometimes it can be challenging to fit in time for your child to complete homework from school as well as speech therapy practice. During the summer, you can just focus on speech practice. This can really help your child make faster progress with their therapy goals when you and your child are able to dedicate more time to the practice.

3) Achieve goals before a new Grade in the Fall - If you start now and work on your child's speech and language goals over the summer, you may be able to achieve their goals before they start into the next Grade in September. With each new Grade at school, comes higher expectations for their language, reading and writing. By progressing their skills over the summer, you can help your child to start a new grade with confidence.
