Speech and Feeding of Frisco is your partner in helping your child with speech and feeding difficulties as they grow, thrive, and communicate with confidence—even during summer break.
When the final school bell rings, it’s tempting to hit pause on everything—even therapy. But for many children receiving speech therapy and language therapy through school services, summer can quietly undo months of hard work and progress.
At Speech & Feeding of Frisco, we see summer as a golden opportunity—not a gap.
Why Summer Therapy Is So Important
Children thrive with consistency. Interrupting speech therapy or language therapy—even for just a couple of months—can lead to regression in skills, behaviors, or routines that took significant effort to build. Whether your child is working on articulation, feeding, or expressive language, maintaining therapy during the summer ensures they keep moving forward.
Here’s why it matters:
- Children can lose up to 2–3 months of learned skills over the summer if therapy stops—especially for those with language delays.
- It can take another two months just to recover those lost gains, which means even more time before new progress can be made.
- Feeding difficulties affect 20–50% of typically developing children and up to 90% of those with developmental delays—making consistency in feeding therapy especially important.
- Disrupting routines can make picky eating and oral motor challenges worse—summer therapy helps reinforce mealtime strategies at home.
