What is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy is a specialized area of healthcare that focuses on evaluating, diagnosing, and treating communication disorders, speech problems, and swallowing disorders in people of all ages. It is performed by speech-language pathologists (SLPs), professionals trained to address a variety of issues including articulation, fluency, voice, receptive and expressive language disorders, and oral motor skills for swallowing.
Why Do People Need
Speech Therapy?
People may require speech therapy for several reasons:
Developmental Delays
Children might have difficulty in acquiring language naturally, or they may exhibit delays in speech development which speech therapy can help address.
Speech Disorders
Conditions such as stuttering, articulation problems, and dysarthria (slurred speech due to muscle weakness) can impair an individual's ability to produce clear speech.
Language Disorders
Some individuals might struggle with understanding others (receptive language), or they may have difficulty sharing thoughts, ideas, and feelings completely (expressive language). These issues can be congenital or result from medical conditions like stroke or brain injury.
Voice Disorders
Therapy can help with problems related to vocal pitch, volume, and quality. People who use their voices professionally, like singers or teachers, may also seek therapy to improve or maintain their vocal health.
Swallowing Difficulties
Known as dysphagia, swallowing difficulties can result from medical conditions such as stroke, brain injury, Alzheimer's disease, or cancer affecting the throat and mouth. Speech therapists assist in managing and rehabilitating swallowing functions.
Cognitive-Communicative Disorders
Addressing issues with cognition that affect communication, such as memory, attention, and problem-solving disorders, is another aspect of speech therapy, especially relevant after brain injuries or in degenerative conditions like dementia.
