Speech therapy
Speech therapy is a specialized treatment that helps individuals improve their speech, language, communication, and swallowing abilities. It focuses on enhancing verbal expression, understanding of language, pronunciation, fluency, and voice quality. Conducted by a speech-language pathologist (SLP), speech therapy supports children and adults who have speech delays, communication disorders, or speech difficulties caused by developmental issues, stroke, injury, or medical conditions.

Overview
Speech therapy is a clinical intervention designed to help individuals improve their communication skills and address speech or language disorders. It focuses on various areas, including articulation (how words are pronounced), fluency (smoothness of speech), voice (tone and quality), and language comprehension. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) use tailored techniques such as exercises, visual aids, and interactive activities to help patients enhance their ability to speak clearly, understand language, and express themselves effectively.
This therapy benefits people of all ages — from children with developmental speech delays to adults recovering from strokes, brain injuries, or neurological conditions. Beyond improving speech, it also addresses issues like swallowing difficulties and cognitive-communication challenges. Through consistent sessions and guided practice, speech therapy helps individuals gain confidence, improve social interactions, and achieve better overall communication in daily life.
