What is Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy is a series of treatment modalities for patients with speech and language-related disorders.

The goals of speech therapy include improving the patient’s ability to verbally articulate words and phrases, correcting swallowing problems that inhibit speaking, and helping overcome cognitive issues that interfere with speech.

Treatments help patients improve a variety of verbal communication difficulties, including (but not limited to) the following:

  • Stuttering/Stammering
  • Articulation disorders
  • Cleft palate or structural issues
  • Developmental disorders

Speech therapy has also shown to be effective in addressing illness or trauma-related speech challenges, such as those caused by stroke, brain injury, nervous system disorders, or other neurological events.

Children struggling with speech should be seen by a healthcare provider and screened for any contributing cause or causes, which will help determine the appropriate treatment strategy. If speech issues are accompanied by difficulty hearing, structural abnormalities, or developmental delays, then the necessary therapeutic or medical interventions should be administered in addition to speech therapy to ensure effective management.

Although speech disorders are typically first diagnosed in children, they can be experienced at any age.

Medical conditions that can lead to speech disorders include the following:

  • Stroke
  • Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)
  • Oral cancer
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Brain tumors
  • Parkinson’s Disease

How Does Speech Therapy Work?

All speech therapy programs aim to improve the patient’s ability to communicate verbally. However, different patients require unique therapeutic approaches depending on their ages, symptoms, and medical histories.

Often, treating the underlying condition affecting speech will cause the issue to improve over time. Many speech pathologists recommend additional interventions like cognitive behavioral therapy to help patients manage stress and adjust negative thinking patterns affecting speech fluency.

Speech therapy at Pomona Valley Health Centers’ Speech Therapy Clinic involves outpatient rehabilitation guided by licensed and certified speech pathologists.

How Can I Benefit from Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy has helped people of all ages and backgrounds significantly improve their communication and language skills.

Achieving verbal clarity can help with the following:

  • Self-confidence
  • Independence
  • Social interactions
  • Scholastic achievement
  • Professional advancement
