Therapy For Speech Issues Is Ineffective - Is It A Myth? Children between the ages of 3 and 4 who struggle with their speech can learn to speak well and go on to have successful early reading and spelling experiences with the aid of a speech professional at the appropriate time. Publishing community-based research on speech therapy undertaken in the United Kingdom and published in 2000 helped dispel the idea that intervention is ineffective. Compared to watchful waiting, speech and language therapy was less effective in this study over a 12-month period. The children in the intervention group in this study only received, on average, 6 hours of therapy over a year, which is crucial information to know. This was insufficient.
The results of a recent Australian Senate investigation examining the prevalence of various speech, language, and communication impairments and speech pathology services indicate that not all Australian children who have speech difficulties receive the proper support at the appropriate time. The issue isn't that speech-related interventions don't work. It's true. The issue is that service and resource limitations may restrict the level of intervention provided to children.
