Speech therapy techniques are used to improve communication. These include articulation therapy, language intervention activities, and other methods depending on the type of speech or language disorder.
Speech therapy may be needed for speech disorders that develop in childhood or speech impairments in adults caused by an injury or illness, such as a stroke or brain injury.
Speech therapy overview
Speech therapy helps children and adults enhance their communication and language skills, thereby improving their quality of life. A speech-language pathologist (SLP) will assess the type of communication disorder and determine the best treatment approach.
If you or your child experience difficulties with speaking, understanding, or communicating, consult a healthcare provider. An evaluation by a speech-language pathologist can identify the specific needs and appropriate interventions.
The duration and frequency of speech therapy depend on individual factors such as age, type and severity of the disorder, and the underlying health condition. Early intervention often leads to better outcomes, especially in children.
Consult a healthcare provider if there are signs of communication difficulties, such as infrequent talking, trouble using or understanding language, or frustration during communication.
