1. Speech Therapy - An Effective Way to Correct Disorder of Speech
Speech therapy is a therapy that is intended to correct a disorder of speech or you may
simply say the treatment to help someone who is suffering from the problem of
communicating verbally. The main focus is on expressive language, or the ability to express
yourself in words, and on receptive language, i.e. the ability to understand words which are
spoken to you.
Many health services may provide a speech and language therapy treatment for the
correction of a speech impairment which resulted from birth, or from disease, injury, or
prior medical treatment, having communication difficulties. There are different types of
communication which includes speech (or you may say articulation, intensity, voice, fluency,
etc.), language (syntax, semantics, phonology, pragmatics, etc.), both receptive and
expressive language (including reading and writing), and non-verbal communication such as
facial expressions, body postures and different types of gestures.
A person having speech defect such as lisping and stuttering may take therapeutic
treatment. This therapy is being used to improve communication skills which may include
teaching sign language or using a communication device. The main aim of speech therapy is
to help those people who are having a speech or language disorder or problem to restore
basic communication skills, including listening and writing skills, and their ability to think,
swallow, and problem solve.
