Speech therapy is a type of treatment involving the diagnosis and treatment of speech problems and communication issues in a person. Speech therapists, also called speech-language pathologists, provide speech therapy sessions.
The speech therapy sessions at Butterfly Learnings can benefit children with communication disorders that occur due to developmental or behavioral disorders. The different disorders that can be treated using speech therapy include:
- Aphasia: The child has difficulty in reading, writing, speaking, or understanding language in this condition.
- Articulation Disorder: The child cannot produce some word sounds in this type of disorder.
- Apraxia: The child has trouble putting his or her thoughts into words even though the child knows what to say.
- Dysarthria: A child having slurred or slow speech is said to have this condition.
- Expressive Disorders: The child will face difficulty in expressing their thoughts or getting out words in this condition.
- Cognitive-Communication Disorders: In this condition, there is damage to that portion of the brain that controls a person’s thinking ability leading to problems with communication.
- Receptive Disorders: In this condition, the child has issues with understanding or processing what other people are saying.
- Resonance Disorders: Some health problems like swollen tonsils and cleft palate can impact the child’s mouth and nose structure and cause resonance disorders.
- Fluency Disorders: The rhythm, speed, and flow of speech are affected in this condition. The common fluency disorders are stammering or stuttering (blocked or interrupted speech) and cluttering (speech that is merged together or too fast).
