What is Speech therapy?

There are many kinds of speech and language disorders that can affect children.  The most common areas in which these impairments occur are articulation, language, fluency, and voice. Speech therapy services include identifying and diagnosing children with speech and/or language impairments and providing services to target the specific areas of speech and language needs.
