What is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy is a specialized service designed to help individuals improve their communication skills, including speech, language, voice, fluency, and social interaction. A speech-language pathologist (SLP) works with children and adults to address challenges such as speech delays, articulation difficulties, stuttering, and language disorders. Through engaging exercises, personalized strategies, and proven techniques, speech therapy enhances communication abilities, boosts confidence, and promotes effective interaction in everyday life.
