Speech therapy addresses all issues related to language, speech and auditory processing skills. Language issues include poor understanding and use of grammar and vocabulary, including young children who are not talking when they should be. Speech issues include articulation, stuttering, speech clarity and planning (apraxia) difficulties. Auditory processing skills are the underlying auditory (sound processing) skills that are vital in the development of reading and writing, ultimately what your brain does with the sounds it hears.

All of the above and more can be helped by a speech therapist. The earlier the therapy starts and the more intensive the therapy is, the better the progress.
