Introduction to Speech Therapy

• Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are trained
  professionals who use various speech therapy
  techniques to improve a person's ability to
  communicate.
• Speech and language difficulties can be caused by
  developmental, physiological, neurological or
  hearing impairments. SLPs and communication
  disorder assistants (CDAs) provide evidence-based
  interventions to support clients and caregivers
  supporting their loved ones.
• Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) and
  Communication Disorders Assistants (CDAs) provide
  11 treatment and consultation services in a
  setting that is convenient for you.

The following are some areas in which we can
assist you or a loved one

Autism Spectrum Disorder

• A neurodevelopmental condition known as autism
  spectrum disorder (ASD) impacts a person's
  perception of and interactions with their
  environment.
• It is characterised by ongoing difficulties with
  social contact and communication as well as
  constrained and repetitive interests and
  behaviours. Because it involves a broad variety
  of signs, abilities, and levels of disability
  that can differ widely from person to person, ASD
  is known as a spectrum condition.

Apraxia for Speech

• Speech sound disorders include childhood apraxia
  of speech (CAS). It makes it challenging to
  understand a child's speech.
• They struggle to utter speech sounds and combine
  speech sounds to form words.
• A speech-language pathologist evaluates a child's
  capacity to produce various sounds and looks at
  their mouth-movement patterns.

Auditory Processing Disorder
Despite having adequate hearing, APD is a problem
with how the brain processes or interprets
sounds. It can be summed up by saying that there
is an issue with how the brain interprets what it
hears. Those who struggle with Auditory
Processing Disorder frequently have normal
hearing sensitivity, but their brains have
trouble understanding, organizing, and
remembering what is heard, particularly in noisy
environments. Children that struggle with
auditory processing have trouble remembering and
comprehending what they hear. They frequently
overlook or misinterpret information that is
spoken aloud during education or discussion.

Reading and Writing Difficulties (Learning
Disability)

• Learning disability is a neurological
  condition.Children with learning difficulties may
  struggle with organizing, remembering, reasoning,
  and reading, writing, and spelling.
• A learning disability is a lifelong issue and
  with the right support and intervention, however,
  children with learning disabilities can succeed
  in school and go on to successful careers later
  in life.
• Type of Learning Disabilities
• Dyslexia a language-based disability in which a
  person has problems interpreting written words.
• Dyscalculia A person with dyscalculia has
  trouble understanding mathematical concepts and
  solving arithmetic problems.
• Dysgraphia a writing disability in which a
  person finds it hard to form letters or write
  within a defined space.

Stuttering
Stuttering is a speech problem that manifests as
a break in the fluent flow of speech. It is also
known as stammering or childhood-onset fluency
disorder. Stutterers are aware of what they want
to say yet struggle to express it. People who
stutter frequently exhibit secondary
behaviours such as poor eye contact, jerky
movements, and word avoidance. By seeking
therapy, a speaker may gain more self-assurance
and be less likely to retreat from society or
avoid specific communication settings.
10
Voice Disorder
Voice disorders are medical illnesses that cause
the larynx to emit sounds with aberrant pitch,
volume, or quality, impairing speech output. It
might be connected to overusing or misusing the
voice box. The most frequent voice issue in
children is caused by "phonotrauma" or misuse of
the voice, such as shouting or making loud noises
while playing, cleaning the throat, and/or
coughing excessively. Hoarseness, breathiness,
strain, recent voice loss, and pitch or volume
that is too loud or too soft are a few of the
indications and symptoms of vocal disorders.
