Personalized speech intervention in person
Speech Delay & Language Delay is another challenge for children at the age of 2 to 3
years. They find it difficult to verbally communicate or express their needs and
when
those needs are unmet, they communicate through the skills which they know or were
previously reinforced i.e. problem behaviours.
A child having delayed speech faces challenges in making sounds to say words
correctly.
Whereas, a child with language delay is able to speak words and pronounce them
properly.
It is difficult for them to speak phrases or complete sentences. Also, they have a
tough
time understanding others.
In sessions, the speech therapist improves the child’s articulation by modeling
words
and sentences correctly while playing. The child gets reinforcement for repeating
the
words or sentences after the therapist.
Also the therapist runs language intervention while playing with the child by
showing
toys, books and pictures, and improves the child’s vocabulary and grammar with the
help
of repetition activities.
