What is Speech Therapy?

Speech Therapists are professionals who are trained to assess speech & language development and to treat speech & language disorders.

For a child with speech or language disorder, the speech therapist will assess the child’s communication impairment and evaluate its impact on the child’s daily functioning, performance in school, and social interactions with others.

A speech disorder refers to a problem with the actual production of sounds, whereas a language disorder refers to a difficulty understanding or putting words together to communicate ideas.

A child’s speech and language development usually follow a typical pattern. If the development deviates from the typical pattern, then this issue will be a concern.

Speech Therapy will be able to work with such concerns. The speech therapist will first determine the type of disorder and the level of severity and then plan for the rehabilitation needs of the child.
