Speech-language disorders refer to problems with communication that affect the lives of children in different ways. Children who have difficulties with speech and language face problems in creating sounds to form words, distorting sounds, omitting sounds, and so on. Speech therapy focuses on providing better care and treatment to improve children’s general language and communication skills for their overall development. A speech therapist will assess the ability of the child by working with them and then they plan treatment based on their age, degree level of difficulty, and learning style. Speech therapy consists of one one-on-one session using various resources and technology.
