Speech therapy is a relatively modern wing of medical expertise which helps patients with speech disorders. Some patients with speech disorders often have difficulty swallowing food due to impaired tongue and throat functioning. Speech Language Pathologists or Speech therapists devise a treatment plan based on the diagnosis of the underlying condition. Upon successful completion of treatment, patients show a clear improvement in pronunciation, articulating tones to match their emotions, and speaking fluent unbroken sentences of the written language.

Speech disorders can be congenital, traumatic, or caused due to brain injury or stroke. Autism-related communication disorders need special attention and care to overcome their communication disabilities.

Therapy begins with the diagnosis of the underlying cause, and clinical service follows. A good speech pathologist must possess excellent communication skills paired with utmost compassion. They provide various services such as screening, consultation, assessment, and counseling sessions. Autism therapists play a pivotal role in the holistic development of special children who have Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

For children, it is never too early or late for therapy. Their ideal age is 18 months after birth.

Speech articulation: The therapist exercises the lip and facial muscles of the patient saying certain words and sounds.

Play therapy: Children play with specially designed toys in this therapy. Children with ASD learn and connect with other people through play therapy.

The duration of speech therapy is hard to predict. Many factors determine the successful completion of treatment. If a patient has more than one disorder, it takes more time to complete the therapy. Social communication challenges and expressive language disorders take more treatment time. Regular practice and a caring environment are crucial for the speedy recovery of the patient.

Articulation: Some children cannot properly coordinate their tongue, teeth, and palate while they talk, causing mispronunciation of words.

Fluency: Children facing fluency issues have interruptions and sudden breaks or may repeat certain words in a sentence.

Stuttering: Stuttering is a conversational disorder characterized by repetition of sounds and words, interruptions in speech, or abrupt conversation blocks. All these make it hard to communicate. Our Speech Language Pathologists can effectively reduce stuttering with special therapies.

Resonance disorder This phenomenon is caused by the obstruction of airflow in the oral and nasal cavities, resulting in low-quality voice. Sounds requiring the involvement of the nasal cavity, like ‘m’ ‘n’ and ‘ng’ are affected in resonance disorder. Speech apraxia, Cleft palate, and some neurological issues may give rise to resonance disorder.

Receptive speech disorder: Patients have the inability to understand spoken language. The inability to process speech combined with hearing problems may cause this disorder.

Expressive Disorder:  It’s a defect that restricts patients convey or express themselves to others through words or gestures.

Aphasia disorder: Aphasia is known to occur due to permanent tissue damage to parts of the brain that control speech. Full recovery from aphasia is not possible. However, sometimes aphasia improves without treatment. The best form of treatment for aphasia is usually speech and language therapy. One Call Doctor delivers excellent Aphasia treatment with convincing results within UAE.

Dysarthria disorder: Dysarthria patients have typical slow or slurred speech caused due to nervous system disorders and conditions that lead to reduced control of muscles involved in speech. Facial paralysis and weakened tongue and throat muscles are some of the known causes. Certain drugs can also cause Dysarthria.

Down’s syndrome is the most common genetic disorder affecting physical and intellectual growth in individuals. Adults with this syndrome typically develop an IQ of a nine-year-old with distinct facial features. Delayed growth and disordered patterns become evident when the child reaches the age of three- though they may appear earlier, even in infant babbling.

DS affects the speech development of a child in multiple ways.

A complex combination of limited mental ability and motor-neural control of facial muscles leads to less intelligible speech. Speech therapists at One call Doctor can promote the mental and social development of your child through structured speech and language practices.

Our speech therapists can assist children facing difficulty generating specific sounds and help with their pronunciation. Speech therapists also work with children helping them to construct precise well-formed sentences. Speech therapists also treat adults who develop speech impairments following trauma, paralysis, or other conditions, helping them lead better lives.
