Language Enhancement: A licensed speech therapist can help with enriching vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension for those with language delays or disorders.
Cognitive-Communication Disorders: Speech therapy helps those with cognitive-communication disorders resulting from traumatic brain injury or neurological conditions, targeting memory, problem-solving, and executive function skills related to communication.
Voice Disorders: Someone with a voice disorder can find improvement with pitch, volume, or quality of voice issues through targeted speech therapy.
Phonological Processing and Articulation: Speech therapy can help those with speech sound disorders, lisps, and challenges in phonological processing.
