Top 5 signs your child might need speech or occupational therapy 

Early detection of developmental delays can make a big difference. Look out for these signs in your child and seek guidance if needed for therapy and support. 

1. Speech delay: If your child isn’t using words by 18 months, it’s worth investigating. 

2. Difficulty following instructions: This could signal attention or comprehension issues. 

3. Struggles with fine motor skills: Trouble holding crayons or small objects may need attention. 

4. Avoids social interaction: Reluctance to engage with peers might indicate a need for help. 

5. Behavioral challenges: Intense tantrums or sensory sensitivity could mean more support is needed. 

Seeking professional guidance early can help your child overcome challenges and reach their full potential.
