Pediatric Speech Therapy at Speak Easy Solutions- What can we treat with your child?

It is the job of our speech therapists to help children who have problems eating, speech and speech disorders. Causes for this can be, for example, neurological disorders, genetic and physical malformations, hearing disorders or psychological problems.

Early advice and treatment

Even in early infancy, early speech therapy counseling and treatment can initiate the basic functions of the mouth, i.e. sucking, swallowing and chewing, or support them in their further development.

Children with lip, jaw, palate and nose malformations are examined by our pediatric speech therapy with regard to these basic functions and their parents are advised accordingly. Children with genetic diseases, such as Down syndrome, often need early help too.

Language development delays and pronunciation disorders

Another important area of ​​work in speech therapy is the therapy of children with speech development delays and pronunciation disorders. Oriented towards everyday activities, our speech therapists improve language comprehension and sentence structure in a playful way.

The vocabulary is expanded, previously malformed sounds are properly initiated and consolidated until they are adopted into spontaneous speech.

Acoustic perception

In addition to optical perception, our speech therapists particularly promote acoustic perception, i.e. recognize and differentiate between what is heard, and auditory memory. In the treatment of stuttering and rumbling children, we are working on a more fluent, fear-free way of speaking. When children feel nasal (rhinophonia) for organic or functional reasons, we use soft palate activation methods to normalize the tone of their voice.

Advice to parents, educators and teachers

We attach great importance to advising parents, educators and teachers. For this reason, the presence of the parents during the therapy is expressly desired, as they will be involved in the treatment and professionally instructed.

The parents should be informed and sensitized in order to understand the child's swallowing or speech disorder, to support them in eating or in their language development and to be able to carry out exercises at home.
