                                                      • vocal rest
                                                      • teaching the child how to use the voice appropriately

                                                        • How Can I Tell If My Child has a problem in one of these areas?

                                                        • Ask your child’s teachers how he compares to other children in his class.  Is she worried?
                                                        • Compare your child to other children his age.  If you aren’t often around other children, take your child to a playground or playplace and watch how he communicates compared to the other children, then ask the other parents how old their children are.  Keep in mind, there is a wide range of normal.  Your child could be quite a bit behind another child his age but they may both be in the normal range.
                                                          • Request a screening by an SLP.  Most states have programs that will do this for free for children aged birth-three years.  After that, the public schools will do screenings for free, you just need to call your school and ask how to get a hold of a speech-language pathologist
