Speech Therapy
Speech and language pathologists provide a wide range of services to children and their families through one-to-one interaction, in a small group, or directly in a classroom to overcome difficulties involved with a specific disorder.
Therapists use a variety of strategies, including:
Language Intervention Activities: In these exercises an SLP will interact with a child by playing and talking. The therapist may use pictures, books, objects, or ongoing events to stimulate language development. The therapist may also model correct pronunciation and use repetition exercises to build speech and language.
Articulation Therapy: Articulation, or sound production, exercises involve having the therapist model correct sounds and syllables for a child, often during play activities. The level of play is age-appropriate and related to the child's specific needs. The SLP will physically show the child how to make certain sounds, such as the "r" sound, and may demonstrate how to move the tongue to produce specific sounds.
Oral Motor/Feeding Therapy: Articulation, or sound production, exercises involve having the therapist model correct sounds and syllables for a child, often during play activities. The level of play is age-appropriate and related to the child's specific needs. The SLP will physically show the child how to make certain sounds, such as the "r" sound, and may demonstrate how to move the tongue to produce specific sounds.
Speech language therapists work with children on communication skills. Communication skills may mean talking, using sign language, or using a communication aid. Children with CP who are able to talk may work with a speech therapist on making their speech clearer, (easier to understand) or on building their language skills by learning new words, learning to speak in sentences, or improving their listening skills. They also help children with CP to develop oromotor skills which facilitate eating, sucking and swallowing which in turn might help them to speak.
Having a child with disability is a stress factor for parents and counseling plays a very important role in preparing the family to accept the ground reality. Counselling is a way of addressing and resolving issues. It helps the family in identifying options and choosing between them, learning new skills to cope better with problems, gaining greater understanding of what is occurring, or being supported while recovering from some significant life event. Counselling is also extended to young adults to deal with their negative emotions, build effective interpersonal and social skills
