Pediatrician 's  Response
If you suspect that your child has a speech problem, early evaluation by a speech language pathologist is crucial.

In conducting an evaluation, a speech-language pathologist will look at a child's speech and language skills within the context of total development. Besides observing your child, the speech language pathologist will conduct standardized tests and scales, and look for milestones in speech and language development.
