The goal of speech-language therapy
The goal of speech-language therapy is to increase self-esteem and independence
by improving the ability to communicate whether it is producing speech sounds
more clear, speaking more fluently, or being able to understand and express
one’s feelings and thoughts.
Individuals of all ages can benefit from speech language therapy. A toddler who
has a language delay would benefit from speech-language therapy by learning new
vocabulary just through language stimulating play. A school-aged child who has
difficulty producing speech sounds would benefit from speech-language therapy by
learning appropriate placement of articulators (lips, tongue). A child with
Autism would benefit from speech-language pathology by learning appropriate
social skills and much more.
What happens during speech therapy?
Speech therapy usually begins with an assessment by an SLP who will identify the
type of communication disorder and the best way to treat it.
Speech therapy for children
Speech therapy exercises and activities vary depending on your child’s
disorder, age, and needs. During speech therapy for children, the SLP will:
– interact through talking and playing, and using books, pictures other objects
as part of language intervention to help stimulate language development,
– model correct sounds and syllables for a child during age-appropriate play to
teach the child how to make certain sounds,
– provide strategies and homework for the child and parent on how to do speech
therapy at home
Speech therapy for adults
Speech therapy for adults also begins with assessment to determine your needs
and the best treatment. Speech therapy exercises for adults can help you with
speech, language, communication and English accent modification.
We design individualized
treatment plans for you with:
Developmental Disorders (e.g., Autism, GBD, Intellectual delay)
Learning Disorders (e.g., dyslexia, ADHD, processing)
Auditory Porcessing Disorders
Hearing Impairments
