Toddler and speech therapy

My friend has a son to be 2 year old and she just started to take him to speech therapy she is scared and ask if i knew anyone. Is there any advice i can give her to comfort her?

1. Why is she scared?
2. Why speech therapy so early?

My son took speech therapy, he was older but honestly there is nothing to be scared of. It's just like him being in school. They used flash cards, puzzles, games etc. just to work with the sounds of words.

im not sure why she is scared im messaging her back and forth right now. I ask her what do the doctors say

how old was ur son? how is he doing now?

there's nothing to be scared of, honestly. my dd has gone since around 3 yrs...it's just games and homework to address their issues and strengthen their weaknesses. 2 is very early to start, though.

I have to take my 3 yr old to speech/language therapist. I havent yet, but I dont think its anything to be scared of...

My son is 20 months and only says a few words. my doctor suggested birth to three and my son qualified. I will have a speech therapist come twice a month to help him learn new words and help me learn how to teach hin on my own. im also nervous because its unfamiliar. My son tested average or above averafe on everything but verbal which was delayed. All babies are different and they learn differently. Twll her its okay and her child will learn alot. Ive read stories about babies learning so much and catching up with their peers rekatively quickly.

i wonder why they do it so early, but my husband's nephew had a speech therapist too and he's only 2. He still doesn't really say much

I don't think 2 is too early to start. My son started just after he turned 2, as well.

Dude has been in speech therapy since 20ish months. No reason to be afraid.
they just kinda play and talk and prompt words, give "homework" of how to work better with your child. No big deal.

Speech therapy can be a really good thing. Alot more children should go than the ones who do. My nephew is 4 1/2 and talks like a 2 yr old and I really wish he'd go because I'm afraid that once in school he's gonna be picked on severely.

This is what she wrote to me asking her what the doctor said: The dr sent him out to therapy cause I asked him too since he used to speak and now he doesnt

ooh, okay. that makes more sense. i hope everything turns out alright.

My son and her son are only days apart and Baby Roc (my son) talks alot i understand what he is saying and also trys to put sentences
