Pediatric Speech Delay

 

Speech Delay

Developmental delay is diagnosed when a child struggles to perform everyday skills including motor (movement), cognitive, social and emotional, speech and language, and other daily living skills. Although any child can experience developmental delays, children with other medical conditions like cerebral palsy, down syndrome, and autism are especially susceptible.

What To Expect With Pediatric Speech Therapy

Pediatric speech therapy helps treat children with communication challenges, both in how they speak and how they understand communication. Speech therapy helps children make the connection between speech sounds and letter sounds. Speech therapy tools and strategies not only help a child to speak clearly and confidently, but speech therapy can also help improve reading skills like decoding, syllable segmentation, rhyming and spelling.
