Speech Therapy
Why Would You Need Speech Language Therapy?
- Language comes in many forms. Receptive language refers to the ability to understand language. Expressive language refers to the ability to produce language, formulate sentences, and clearly express thoughts and ideas. The patient may also demonstrate difficulties with written language skills, which can significantly impact their academic success.
- Social Communication skills impact the ability to effectively communicate with others. Deficits in social communication skills may include poor eye contact, decreased initiation of social interaction, and reduced conversational skills.
- Some people may have difficulty swallowing foods or liquids. These individuals may require extra time or help when eating and drinking; have special restricted diets; and/or have some or all of their nutrition from feeding tubes.
- Fluency refers to the ability to produce sounds, words, and sentences in a smooth flowing way. If the patient exhibits repetitions or “gets stuck” when saying sounds, the patient may have a fluency/stuttering disorder
