Is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals who have difficulty with communication, speech, language, or swallowing. For children, these challenges can impact their academic progress, social interactions, and overall confidence. Speech and language therapy provides them with the skills to communicate more effectively, which is crucial for their development and well-being.
Speech and language therapy can benefit a diverse range of individuals, including children with developmental delays, articulation issues, and language disorders. It is particularly helpful for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), speech fluency problems like stuttering, cognitive impairments, and hearing loss.
The duration of therapy varies based on individual needs, but sessions generally last 30 to 60 minutes, and the frequency can range from weekly to monthly.
Parents can reinforce skills learned in therapy by practicing activities, providing a language-rich environment, and encouraging communication in daily interactions.
Sessions typically involve assessments, goal setting, engaging activities tailored to the individual’s needs, and strategies for practice at home.
Common conditions include speech delays, stuttering, articulation disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), cognitive impairments, and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia).
Essential for kids was established in the year 2014.
