2. What is Speech Therapy
Speech or communication disorders are treated through speech therapy.
Every person’s existence revolves mostly around speech. Some young
toddlers can speak, but they struggle to articulate certain phonetic
sounds. Speech disorders were seen in children with autism, Down
syndrome, cerebral palsy, and hearing impairment. Additionally classified
as speech disorders are stuttering and stammering. Children in their early
years are still learning, thus they may have skipped or jumped over
certain terms. 2 – 4 words and a brief phrase should be said by a
youngster by the time they are 2 years old. Mom-dad, come Mumma, etc.
are a few examples.

3. Technique of Pronouncing
Words
As we know, all sounds are pronounced with throat, tongue, or air
blotting inside or outside for particular words. So, most of the speech-
disabled children do not know how to use the technique of pronouncing
words. So here speech therapist works and does tongue, muscular and
oral exercises for stammerers and speech-delayed children. If your child
is facing pronunciation troubles in a communication aspect so you need a
speech therapist.

4. Evaluation and Diagnosis
The speech therapist will initially evaluate the child’s speech and language
skills. This evaluation helps identify any communication difficulties or
disorders the child may have.

5. Individualized Treatment Plans
After the evaluation, the speech therapist develops an individualized
treatment plan tailored to the child’s specific needs. The plan outlines
specific goals and strategies for improving communication skills.

6. Articulation and Pronunciation
Speech therapy often focuses on improving articulation and
pronunciation. The therapist helps children learn how to produce sounds
correctly, improve clarity, and enhance overall speech intelligibility.

7. Alternative Communication Methods
For children with severe communication difficulties, speech therapy may
include teaching alternative communication methods, such as sign
language, visual aids, or augmentative and alternative communication
(AAC) devices.

8. Language Development
Therapy can target various aspects of language development, such as
vocabulary, grammar, comprehension, and expressive language skills.
Children may learn strategies to enhance their understanding and use of
language.

9. Fluency and Stuttering
Speech therapy can address fluency disorders, including stuttering.
Therapists use techniques to help children develop smoother speech
patterns and manage moments of dysfluency.

10. Social Communication Skills
Some children struggle with social communication, including
understanding non-verbal cues, initiating and maintaining conversations,
and understanding social norms. Speech therapy can help improve these
skills.

11. Play-Based Approach
Speech therapy for children typically incorporates play-based activities to
engage and motivate the child. Through play, therapists can work on
various communication skills in a fun and interactive manner.
