Speech-language therapy is the assessment and treatment of communication delays and speech disorders. It’s performed by speech-language pathologists (SLPs), often referred to as speech therapists. These professionals use various techniques to improve communication, including articulation therapy, language intervention activities, feeding and more, depending on the specific disorder. Here are some common reasons why speech-language therapy services might be needed.

Articulation Disorders

These involve difficulty properly forming certain word sounds. For example, a child might delete, substitute, distort, or add sounds, such as saying “dis” instead of “this” or “poon” instead of “spoon.”

Fluency Disorders

Refers to continuity, smoothness, rate, and effort in speech production. All speakers are disfluent at times. They may hesitate when speaking, use fillers (“like” or “uh”), or repeat a word or phrase. These are called typical disfluencies or non-fluencies.

Receptive Language Disorders

These disorders involve difficulties in understanding and processing what others say. It can lead to limited vocabulary, difficulty following directions, and seeming uninterested during conversations.

Expressive Language Disorders

These disorders involve difficulty conveying information accurately. Individuals may struggle with formulating grammatically correct sentences or using incorrect verb tenses.

Pragmatic (Social) Language Disorders

These disorders affects both verbal and nonverbal communication in social situations, including knowing what to say, how to say it, and when to say it.

Cognitive-Communication Disorders

These disorders often result from brain injuries or conditions, these affect memory, problem-solving, and communication abilities.

Feeding Disorders

Children may refuse to eat certain food groups, textures, solids or liquids.

Speech Generated Devices (SGT)

Encompasses the communication methods used to supplement or replace speech or writing for those with impairments in the production or comprehension of spoken or written language.

Speech therapy helps improve communication skills, memory, problem-solving abilities, feeding concerns, and benefiting children with speech disorders. If you or someone you know experience communication and feeding difficulties, seeking a professional evaluation and therapy can make a significant difference.
