Speech Language Therapy at First Step
For those who have difficulty expressing thoughts and feelings clearly, speech-language therapists offer treatment in the areas of receptive and expressive language, articulation, hearing, voice, fluency, and feeding skills.
Evaluation can provide information to help develop effective strategies. Typical strategies focus on language therapy to develop the important concepts necessary to communicate. Vocabulary development, rehearsal, and practice of using language in social situations are often helpful therapeutic methods.
Students with substantial communication disorders may require extensive specially designed instruction. Language processing disorders may play a role in dyslexia and autism.
