Consider the therapist's qualifications (look for registered speech therapists or OTs), group size, language of instruction, and whether they offer an initial assessment. Trial sessions are valuable — they let you observe how your child responds to the therapist's approach.

Individual sessions (1-on-1) provide focused attention on your child's specific goals. Group sessions (typically 3–6 children) help develop social skills, peer interaction, and turn-taking in a supported environment. Many therapists recommend a combination of both.
