BBB 015: Boys and Speech: Supporting Speech Development and Identifying a Delay
Boys Built Better

Season 1, Episode 15
Show Notes
I’ve been thinking about boys and speech. Maybe it’s because my nephew is in speech therapy, maybe it’s because my friend’s son is too or maybe it’s because I have concerns about my own 6-year-old.
Do boys talk later than girls? What can I do as a parent to support speech development? And where do I start if I’m concerned?
Today I am chatting with Sarah Armstrong a Speech and Language pathologist with over 22 years of experience. We are talking about the role of a Speech and Language pathologist, understanding speech development, boys and speech, identifying a delay and supporting speech growth.
