Articulation disorders focus on errors (e.g., distortions and substitutions) in production of individual speech sounds. Phonological disorders focus on predictable, rule-based errors (e.g., fronting, stopping, and final consonant deletion) that affect more than one sound.
Articulation & Phonology disorders.
Is an approach which consists of a variety of strategies Speech and Language Therapist's, Teachers and Parents can use to help support the speech and language development of their children ready for entry into school.
Early Intervention.
Literacy is the ability to read, view, write, design, speak and listen in a way that allows us to communicate effectively and to make sense of the world.
Literacy
Paediatric language.
Right from birth, babies learn language and communication skills and are able to react to different sounds. They develop skills to understand language long before they start speaking. Each baby will develop these skills at a different rate, although there is a general pattern of early language development.
Receptive & Expressive language difficulties.
A child with receptive language disorder may also have expressive language disorder, which means they have difficulties with using spoken language. Symptoms differ from one child to the next, but can include: frequently grasping for the right word. using the wrong words in speech.
Voice disorders.
Using the voice box or vocal cords to produce sound for speech. For example, a person who regularly loses their voice or a person who has had surgery for throat cancer.
Central Auditory Processing.
(CAPD) is the inability to understand verbal language in a meaningful way, in the absence of a hearing loss. In other words, there is a problem with the way the ear talks to the brain, and the brain has trouble interpreting what the ear is trying to tell it.
Stuttering & Fluency.
Commonly called stuttering. This difficulty is usually first noticed when a child starts putting sentences together around 2 years of age, however it can persist into adulthood.
