You may be surprised to learn how much speech-language pathologists can help! We do far more than just “teaching people to talk.” Our expertise spans speech, language, cognitive skills, motor function, social communication, and swallowing disorders—helping patients of all ages overcome challenges and thrive in everyday life.
Articulation describes the accuracy by which an individual is able to produce the different sounds that make up spoken words. Phonological processing errors occur when children use atypical patterns of articulation. Speech is produced by fine-tuning of motor (muscle) movements in and around the mouth. Dysarthria and apraxia are disorders that describe motor and motor planning difficulties that directly impact speech production.
Expressive Language describes the ability to make oneself understood. This can include gestures, talking, vocabulary, asking questions, and more. Disorders and delays in expressive language development could include: late talking, poor vocabulary, difficulty explaining, sentence structure errors, etc. Disorders of expressive language can occur later in life following stroke and brain injury.
Feeding and swallowing problems are known as dysphagia. Dysphagia occurs for a variety of reasons in infants, children, and adults. Safe swallowing is crucial in sustaining nutrition and encouraging growth.
Your voice is produced in the “voice box” when your vocal folds vibrate against each other upon exhalation. Disorders of the voice can cause problems with vocal volume, pitch, and quality (hoarseness, breathiness, etc.).
Closely related to language ability is cognition. Cognition includes memory, awareness, executive functioning, problem solving, etc. Cognitive impairments in adults are often present with dementia, brain injury, and stroke patients.
Pragmatic language involves one’s social skills. This is often an area of concern with children who have autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The speech-language pathologists at Simply Speech have treated a vast number of children with ASD and enjoy working with this population.
Fluency refers to the ease in which a speaker can produce speech. Stuttering is a fluency disorder. It can be characterized by prolongations of sounds, repetitions of sounds, blocks, and more. Stuttering can have a significant impact on a speaker’s confidence and self-esteem.
The ability to understand the intended meaning of language is receptive language. This can include understanding directions or questions, understanding complex conversation, or difficulty learning. An adult may acquire receptive language disorder due to a stroke or brain injury.
Research shows speech therapy is effective when PLAY is used to help kids thrive.
Children with speech delays make significant progress with early therapy. (ASHA, 2023)
Brain development is nearly complete by age 5, making early intervention critical. (Harvard Center on the Developing Child)
Children who receive speech and language therapy during early childhood make up to 80% faster progress.
Early-identified language delays show meaningful improvement with consistent therapy.
