Communication plays a crucial role in every aspect of our lives. Individuals with speech and language difficulties often experience many communication challenges, including language delays, articulation disorders, and speech fluency issues. A 2019 study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) showed that the prevalence of speech and language difficulties among Indian children is 2.53%. However, certain therapies and interventions can help individuals with speech difficulties actively participate in social interactions, confidently communicate, and achieve their full potential.

Our organization, RCD Memorial Foundation, offers specialized speech and language therapy services to enhance the communication skills of children and facilitate their independence. Whatever a child’s age or ability, we have tailored therapy services to fulfill the expectations. Our team of therapy experts will provide comprehensive support for the child and their parents or caregivers. Let’s know first what speech and language therapy is.

What Is Speech And Language Therapy?

Speech and language therapy includes certain techniques and activities therapists conduct to improve the overall communication of individuals with speech and language disorders. The speech and language difficulties include speech delays, expressive/receptive language, oral motor dysfunction, articulation, fluency issues, apraxia of speech, and cognitive problems.

Speech therapy can also be characterized by a treatment that improves a person’s ability to communicate and use other language skills. Additionally, it helps one express what they’re feeling or thinking and what other people are saying to them.

Impact Of Our Speech And Language Therapy On Children

At our foundation, we provide personalized speech and language therapy for children of all ages. Our trained speech therapists work closely with every child to understand their communication difficulties before creating customized therapy sessions according to each kid’s specific speech and language goals. Let’s comprehend how our speech and language therapy positively impacts children with communication difficulties.

1. Improves communication skills: Our speech therapy helps children with communication difficulties communicate properly with others. It makes their language pronunciation fluent and enhances their ability to express themselves in front of others.
2. Enhances reading ability: Speech delay often causes difficulties with listening, reading, and writing. Our speech therapists teach children essential reading and literacy skills so that they can communicate freely.
3. Reduces communication frustrations: Our speech therapy significantly reduces communication frustration among children. It improves the way children communicate with other children and adults. The therapists improve the speech muscles of the children through mouth and tongue exercises. These exercises include repeating sounds and imitating what the speech therapists doing or saying.
4. Helps with social skills: Our skilled therapists use video modeling, specific therapy apps, role-playing activities, social stories, and other effective strategies to improve social skills.
5. Boosts the overall communication experience: The speech therapists employ alternative communication methods including sign language, vocalizations, approximations, gestures, and more. They teach the children how they can communicate in other ways.
