Speech therapy is a type of treatment designed to help individuals improve their communication skills. It is often used for people who have difficulty speaking, understanding language, or using their voice effectively. Speech therapists, also known as speech-language pathologists, assess and diagnose speech and language disorders, creating personalized plans to address each person's needs. The therapy can involve various techniques, including exercises to strengthen the muscles used in speech, activities to enhance language comprehension, and strategies to improve social communication skills. Speech therapy can benefit children with developmental delays, adults recovering from strokes, and anyone facing challenges with their speech or language.
