How Speech Therapy Helps Children and Adults
There are a variety of reasons that adults and children might benefit from speech therapy. For example, if your child is having trouble reading and writing, they might need speech therapy to improve their articulation and phonological processes. A lisp can also be treated through speech therapy, whether your child has a frontal or lateral lisp. It can also improve a child’s academic performance by helping them pronounce certain sounds correctly, or it might help them better understand what they hear when other people speak.
Adults who need speech therapy might have receptive language disorders or difficulty understanding spoken information, fluency disorders including stuttering and cluttering, or a resonance disorder. Adults who have suffered through traumatic brain injuries, stroke, dementia, or other illnesses may also need speech therapy services to help them with articulation, speech, swallowing, and more. Speech therapy can help them communicate effectively, as well as reduce their stress when speaking publicly.
