What Are Speech and Language Disorders?
Speech and Language Disorders can affect a person’s ability to communicate effectively.
These include difficulties with articulation, fluency, voice control, and language processing.
The pronunciation and formation of certain words and letters can be tricky and it can be difficult for them to communicate which can also make it tricky for others to understand what they are saying.
Different languages require different parts of the mouth, tongue, and throat to form letters and sounds. Some letters and characters that are used in English are not used in other languages so it can be even trickier to switch between two languages.
- Assistive tools and alternative communication strategies to support learning.
- Regular feedback and communication to track progress and adjust strategies.
- Building confidence in communication skills alongside academic success.
