Speech therapy is an intervention that targets improving a child’s ability to understand and express language. The therapy is conducted by a medical professional known as a speech-language pathologist.
Speech-language therapy encompasses the following areas:
A formal assessment is conducted to determine the areas of deficit and goal plans are created.
A prescription from a medical provider (i.e., pediatrician, sub-specialist) is required to initiate scheduling the evaluation.
There are no risk factors related to speech therapy.
