During a speech therapy consultation, an evaluation is carried out to establish a diagnosis and provide appropriate treatment for communication and swallowing disorders.

These disorders can affect speech, language, voice, hearing, and reading skills.

In the case of children, speech therapy is conducted in a playful and engaging manner to make the sessions more enjoyable. Games, drawing activities, reading, and music are used to naturally stimulate speech and language development.

It is important for parents to monitor their child’s communication development and seek help early if they notice any delays or difficulties in language.

Speech therapy is a vital intervention to promote effective communication and improve quality of life — whether in childhood, adolescence, or later stages of life. If there are any signs of difficulties with speech, language, or swallowing, seeking support from a speech therapist can make a significant difference.
