What is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy is a specialized form of therapy that focuses on helping individuals improve their communication skills. This can include improving their ability to speak clearly, understand language, and communicate effectively with others.
At Chit Chat Speech Therapy, we provide a range of speech therapy services, including:
Articulation Therapy
Articulation therapy is a type of speech therapy that focuses on improving an individual's ability to produce speech sounds correctly. This can include working on specific sounds that the individual has difficulty producing, such as "s" or "r."
At Chit Chat Speech Therapy, our speech therapists use a variety of techniques to help individuals improve their articulation skills, including:
Visual aids, such as mirrors and videos, to help individuals see and hear themselves producing sounds correctly
Articulation drills and exercises to help individuals practice producing specific sounds
Games and activities to make therapy sessions fun and engaging
Language Therapy
Language therapy is a type of speech therapy that focuses on improving an individual's ability to understand and use language. This can include working on vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension skills.
At Chit Chat Speech Therapy, our speech therapists use a variety of techniques to help individuals improve their language skills, including:
Reading books and having conversations to improve vocabulary and comprehension skills
Using visual aids, such as pictures and videos, to help individuals understand and use new words and concepts
Playing games and engaging in activities to make therapy sessions fun and engaging
Fluency Therapy
Fluency therapy is a type of speech therapy that focuses on improving an individual's ability to speak fluently. This can include working on reducing stuttering and other speech disfluencies.
At Chit Chat Speech Therapy, our speech therapists use a variety of techniques to help individuals improve their fluency skills, including:
Breathing exercises and relaxation techniques to reduce anxiety and tension
Slow and smooth speech techniques to help individuals speak more fluently
Cognitive-behavioral therapy to help individuals change their attitudes and beliefs about stuttering
Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Therapy
Augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) therapy is a type of speech therapy that focuses on helping individuals who have difficulty speaking or communicating verbally. This can include individuals with conditions such as cerebral palsy, autism, and traumatic brain injury.
At Chit Chat Speech Therapy, our speech therapists are trained in a variety of AAC techniques, including:
Picture communication systems, such as PECS and Boardmaker
Speech-generating devices, such as iPads and Tobii Dynavox
Sign language and other non-verbal communication techniques
Parent Training
Parent training is such an important part of speech therapy. It helps parents to understand their child's speech goals and provides them with tools to manage their speech therapy at home. Parent training also helps to build a positive relationship between the parent and the speech therapist, which is extremely beneficial for the child's progress. Parent-trained children have been shown to make greater progress in speech therapy, and they are more likely to continue to make progress after they leave speech therapy. It actually reduces the cost of speech therapy when parents are trained in the successful techniques for their child and do them at home on a regular basis. For these reasons, parent training is an essential part of speech therapy.
