Speech (Phonology) Delay/Disorder
Speech delays or disorders occur when children have difficulty pronouncing sounds or words clearly. This can impact their ability to communicate effectively with others, often leading to frustration or misunderstanding.
Selective Mutism (Situational Mutism)
Selective mutism is a childhood anxiety disorder where children fail to speak in specific social situations, like school, despite speaking normally at home. Therapy aims to build confidence and ease social communication.
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD)
DLD is a condition where children have persistent difficulties with language skills, affecting both speech comprehension and expression. It’s not linked to other developmental disorders or hearing loss but can impact academic and social skills.
English as an Additional Language
Children learning English as an additional language may experience language delays due to the process of acquiring new linguistic skills. These challenges often improve with consistent language support and exposure.
Autism
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may face challenges with communication, social interactions, and repetitive behaviors. Speech therapy can support them in improving language skills and social communication.
ADHD
Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) can impact a child's ability to focus and process language effectively. Speech therapy can assist with communication difficulties associated with ADHD, such as poor listening skills and language organization.
Language Delay
A language delay refers to a child’s slower-than-expected development in understanding or using words. This can affect vocabulary, sentence structure, and the ability to follow or initiate conversations.
Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral palsy affects movement and muscle coordination and can impact speech development. Speech therapy helps children with cerebral palsy improve their communication skills by using adaptive techniques to manage physical limitations.
Dysfluency (Stammering)
Stammering, or dysfluency, refers to disruptions in the flow of speech, such as repetitions, prolongations, or pauses. Therapy helps children overcome anxiety related to speaking and improve speech fluency.
Childhood Apraxia of Speech
CAS is a motor speech disorder where children have difficulty coordinating the muscle movements needed for clear speech. It affects their ability to form words correctly, even though they understand language normally.
Down’s Syndrome
Down’s syndrome is a genetic condition that can affect a child’s speech, language, and cognitive development. Speech therapy helps improve communication, social interaction, and cognitive abilities, enhancing the child’s ability to engage with others.
Global Developmental Delay
Global developmental delay refers to children who show delays in multiple developmental areas, including language, motor skills, and cognitive functions. Early intervention and therapy can help support their overall growth and communication abilities.
