Who and For What Does Need Classes With the Speech Therapist?

As a rule, the general developmental disorder is associated with speech defects in children. Pronunciation problems make communication difficult and impede the development of intellectual abilities. Your child needs help with his/her studies.

Sometimes speech therapy is also needed for adult patients. Speech problems (after injury or serious illness) cause other difficulties and affect the higher nervous activity inhibiting gnosis (recognising an object by its characteristics) and praxis (developing conscious motor skills) more difficult.

When is it Time to See a Speech Therapist?

Speech therapy is recommended for children with different speech impairments. Parents should be concerned if a child:

does not respond to the voice before one year of age;
does not babble before the age of 2-2.5 years;
does not eat solid food well;
tries to do without words;
communicates more often with gestures, shouting;
does not know how to ask, explain, shuns other children;
skips complex words or replaces them with simple words;
speaks on the breath, there are stammering and inappropriate pauses;
has difficulty understanding similar sounds, makes sound substitutions, rearranges syllables;
has difficulties with reading and writing, does not understand what is being read, "mirrors" letters;
confuses endings, numbers, gender;
says words in parts, does not link the word to its meaning.

There may be disorders of vocalization and pronunciation, excessive salivation and other disturbing but no obvious symptoms to parents. Some speech pathology problems can only be identified by a trained professional. Sometimes a consultation with a paediatric neurologist may be necessary.

The child should be examined, data on the child's development and abilities should be examined and the general state of health should be taken into account. This will help to identify:

adaptability;
type of speech impairment;
learning skills;
ability to understand instructions;
articulation skills;
the condition of the speech apparatus and the mimic muscles.

In addition, the doctor must determine the appropriateness of ForBrain and speech therapy massage.

speech therapy games.

All treatments and speech therapy sessions are based on the psychophysical development of the children and their individual characteristics.

How Speech Therapy Classes Are Run

Speech therapy sessions for children take place in a comfortable environment that does not resemble a hospital. During the half-hour sessions (complex - 50 min.), the child can sit, lie down or play on a special mat or at an individual desk. Gently, but persistently, the speech therapist leads the patient to the desired result. The qualifications of the specialists at the Centre help even with difficult cases of speech disorders (lessons for speech start, lessons with a speech therapist after a stroke).

The number of sessions depends on the child's progress, the type of speech impairment and the quality of homework with parents.
