What is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy is a treatment that can help improve communication skills. It’s sometimes called speech-language therapy.
Many people think that speech therapy is only for kids with speech disorders that affect pronunciation. But it also helps kids who struggle with spoken and written language. That includes those with language disorders and reading challenges like Dyslexia.
In addition to speech challenges, therapy can target problems with:
- Receptive language (understanding language)
- Expressive Language (Using Language)
- Social communication (using language in socially appropriate ways)
- Reading and Spelling (Including Dyslexia)
