Hi. You can locate a certified Speech and Language Pathologist near you, by going to ASHA.org/profind.
This is not specific and the best thing you can consider as a parent is to request a speech language pathology referral from your pediatrician and/or go to a speech therapy center and get a comprehensive assessment and then go from there. The speech language pathologist evaluating your child will be able to give you some clinical and evidence-based advice related to actual real-time findings.
I would recommend contacting a Speech Pathologist and having an evaluation completed. From there, the Speech Pathologist can give you strategies and determine what is the appropriate treatment plan.
The first step would be a screening/evaluation by a speech-language pathologist to identify any deficits that may exist.
