What is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy is the evaluation and treatment of speaking problems and speech disorders. It is done by speech-language pathologists (SLPs), which are often referred to as speech therapists.
Different techniques are used in speech therapy to improve communication. These include language intervention activities, articulation therapy and others depending on the type of speech disorder.
Speech therapy is usually recommended for speech disorders that develop in childhood or in adults caused by an injury, illness such as stroke.
Speech therapy consists of two components:
Synchronizing the mouth to produce sounds to form correct words and sentences (to address fluency, articulation and voice volume regulation)
Understanding and expressing language (to address the use of language through written, pictorial and sign forms)

How is Speech therapy done for children?

For children, depending on the speech disorder, speech therapy is done in a small group or one-on-one. Speech therapy techniques and activities vary depending on the child’s age, needs and type of disorder.
During speech therapy for children, the therapist may :

- Communicate through games, and using toys, books, pictures as part of language mediation to help stimulate speech development
- Teach strategies and exercises for the child and parent to continue speech therapy at home
