Paediatric Speech Pathologists are trained to assess and provide speech therapy for children who may experience communication and speech difficulties. The disorders could be related to language, socialising, communicating with other people, speaking, listening, writing, reading, and even using your voice.
Some of these difficulties may be caused by developmental issues, brain injuries, intellectual disabilities, dementia, or other problems that could be related to speech and language development.
In general, communication difficulties do not just ‘go away’. Your child is not having these difficulties because they are lazy. You may find they are starting to avoid situations where they have to talk, or will become frustrated when they have to do their homework.
This is because it is simply hard for them. A parent does not cause their child to have these difficulties, however a parent who has found the right advice and support can help their child to achieve success.
