Speech Therapy

---

Speech and language therapy is vital for improving the comprehension and expression which paves way for a barrier free communication across all age groups. Speech Therapy is part of a rehabilitation program that encompasses the diagnosis and management of various communications disorders in children and

adults. It is performed by speech-language pathologists (SLPs), who are often referred to as speech therapists. 

A Speech Therapist is an allied health professional who uses various evidence based techniques to improve communication abilities in children and adults. The management of communication disorders includes language, articulation, voice and fluency therapy. This is required for an individual with language and speech disorders that develop in childhood or acquired communication impairments in adults due to an injury or illness, such as stroke.
