As a parent, it may be frustrating to you when your child has a hard time communicating, and it is certainly frustrating for children that can't communicate very well with the people around them. The question for many parents is, "how do I know if my child really does need speech therapy in Georgia?"
There are a variety of speech and language disorders that your child could be suffering from. Here are a few things to look for if you are trying to identify whether or not your child truly has a disorder.
Resonance or voice disorders can discourage talking in more than one way. Not only does the volume or pitch of the voice at times make it hard for the listener, but this disorder can also cause physical pain for the person who has it.
Fluency disorders are associated with stutters. Does your child put pauses in unusual places when speaking? Is there repetition or elongation of individual sounds? You may be dealing with a fluency disorder.
Does your child have a hard time pronouncing certain sounds in syllables or words? Is it hard for people listening to your child to distinguish exactly what is being said? If this is the case it could be that your child has an articulation disorder.
Another disorder, Dysphagia, occurs when a person has difficulty swallowing. This obviously would make it hard to eat, but the visible result is that the person often has a problem with drooling or slobbering.
All of the above listed disorders are considered speech disorders. Next, we will be looking into the symptoms displayed by those who have language disorders.
There are two different kinds of language disorders. They are known as expressive and receptive.
When people suffer from expressive disorders they have a hard time arranging words into logical sentences that the listener can understand and in some cases. Often they have very small vocabularies that can make forming simple sentences even more difficult
.
Receptive disorders are categorized by having a hard time understanding the information that is received. In other words, what sounds like a logical sentence when heard and processed by the average person makes very little sense to the listener that has a receptive disorder.
If your child has any of these symptoms and you suspect that they might have a speech or language disorder, it would probably be wise for you to seek out a provider of speech therapy in Georgia.
