How can Speech Therapy benefit my child?
Speech therapy for language skills
Children facing persistent language difficulties may have Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), impacting 1 in 14 children. DLD, often hereditary, leads to struggles in:
- Oral language difficulties
- Language comprehension
- Grammar and sentence construction
- Classroom learning like reading, spelling and writing.
These challenges in language skills can hinder academic progress and impact social relationships at school.
Speech therapy for speech sounds
Speech comprises the sounds children produce to make words that everyone can understand.
Speech therapists can assess:
- Articulation disorders: trouble producing speech sounds accurately.
- Phonological processing disorders: difficulty organising sounds.
- Motor planning difficulties: trouble coordinating movements for clear speech.
Speech therapy for written expression
As children advance in school, writing becomes more crucial. It involves foundation skills like handwriting, spelling, and punctuation. The writing process also focuses on grammar, vocabulary, and organisation. Children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and a Specific Learning Disorder (SLD) often struggle with written expression.
