Speech Therapy

Articulation therapy is needed when an individual makes errors in the production of speech sounds and the intelligibility of the speech is reduced. All the speech sounds are first assessed and to understand where these errors occur. In the therapy, the correct sound is demonstrated and the child is shown ways in which these could be produced.

Language therapy is an umbrella term for various types of therapies that a speech-language pathologist (SLP or speech therapist) can provide. Language therapy works on Listening Skills(listening to commands), Grammar Skills (forming complete sentences), Vocabulary Skills(understanding words and using them appropriately) , Question Skills(answer and ask questions) , Social Language Skills, Literacy/Book Skills etc.

Teletherapy is also called Online Therapy. It is a practice of conducting Speech Therapy remotely using a virtual platform or video connection. Teletherapy sessions are in most ways similar to sessions taken in a clinical set up, the only difference is that the therapist is not in the same room as the client and there is an additional use of technology to connect the therapist and the client and/or caregiver. It does have its pros and cons but Teletherapy is best solution for a person who cannot physically make it to the clinic. In my opinion, those who would prefer Teletherapy as the mode of treatment should try and visit the clinic in certain intervals as some skills are worked on in person.
