Speech therapy is a therapy program performed to diagnose and treat speech, language, or communication disorders in an individual. A speech therapist, also known as a speech-language pathologist offers speech therapy programs.
If your child suffers from communication, speech, or language problems because of behavioral or developmental disorders, our expert speech therapists at Butterfly Learnings can help in the management of such problems.
The common speech and language disorders treated by our speech therapists include:
- Aphasia: The child faces difficulty in reading and writing, as well as understanding or speaking in this condition.
- Apraxia: When a child cannot express his or her thoughts and feelings in words, he or she is said to have apraxia.
- Articulation Disorder: When a child cannot produce certain sounds of certain words, he or he is said to have an articulation disorder.
- Cognitive-Communication Disorders: Communication problems in children due to damage to that portion of the brain controlling the child’s thinking capability may lead to these disorders.
- Dysarthria: When a child has slurred or slow speech, the condition is known as dysarthria.
- Expressive Disorders: As the name suggests, the child has trouble expressing his or her thoughts and feelings by using appropriate words in these types of disorders.
- Fluency Disorders: When the flow and rhythm of a child’s speech are affected, he or she is said to have a fluency disorder. Common examples of fluency disorders include cluttering and stammering/stuttering.
- Receptive Disorders: When a child has trouble understanding and processing the speech of other people, the condition is known as a receptive disorder.
- Resonance Disorders: A child having health problems like swollen tonsils or a cleft palate could have problems with the structure of his or her nose and mouth, leading to resonance disorders.
The speech therapists at Butterfly Learnings provide one-on-one therapy sessions tailored to the child’s condition and needs. They use evidence-based, child-friendly therapies and activities like sequencing games or language-based board games to improve your child’s speech and language skills.
Speech therapy sessions can be taken by individuals belonging to all age groups. However, the earlier the age of starting speech therapy, the better the therapy outcomes.
You can contact our skilled speech therapists at Butterfly Learnings Center for an elaborate assessment of your child’s condition and an individualized treatment plan for your child based on our assessment. We will help treat your child’s speech and language disorders in a comfortable environment.
