Articulation and Phonology
Speech sound or articulation disorders occur when children continue to have difficulty producing sounds that are expected at a certain age. This can lead to reduced intelligibility of speech and frustration.
Expressive and Receptive Language Disorder
Expressive language is the ability to produce language. It is based on the content, form, and use of language at different developmental levels. Receptive language is the ability to understand auditory messages. If your child has difficulty following directions or understanding vocabulary, he may have a language based learning disability.
Stuttering and Fluency
Research suggests that speech therapy is the best treatment for both children and adults who stutter, with large evidence supporting its efficacy. Approximately 5-10% of all children will stutter at some point in their lives, but most will typically outgrow this within a few months or years.
Apraxia of Speech (CAS)
Childhood apraxia of speech is an impaired ability to motor planning movements necessary to produce speech even when there’s no obvious muscular problem. This typically results in reduced clarity of speech and frustration.
Early Intervention
Early intervention focuses on diagnosing and treating speech and language disorders in young children - from infancy to age three. The techniques required for early intervention are much different than speech therapy for an older patient with a focus primarily on parent coaching.
Voice Disorders
Many different things can lead to voice problems in children, such as frequent shouting and poor vocal hygiene. If a voice is rough or a child runs out of air when speaking, this may be indicative of a voice problem. There are many different types of voice disorders that can be helped with therapy.
Social Skills Therapy
Social skills therapy for children involves learning how to interact in the social world. Difficulty with pragmatic language can be part of a diagnosis such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Speech therapy helps them to learn and apply social rules and behaviors when communicating with others.
