What is Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy is a program designed to help people regain and increase their ability to communicate through speech. Additionally, speech therapy also focuses on helping patients with problems in receptive language to help them understand the words that are perceived. Many treatments are available to help regain speech that range from training and repetitive training exercises to devices that make it easier for people to talk. Speech therapy also focuses on the improvement of oral skills ranging from speech to feeding. A speech therapist is trained in the areas of diagnosis and treatment of language acquisition, oral motor function, communication skills, speech, pitch, feeding problems, and more. Speech therapists analyze patient histories as well as input from other health professionals before establishing a treatment to maximize growth. Treatments are geared towards improving language, speech, and feeding skills and/or reducing problems such as stuttering and inappropriate pitch at the same time. Speech therapists are also concerned with maximizing the developmental potential in children to improve their ability to chew and swallow, ability to communicate, and the quality of their lives.
