Who is a speech and language therapist?

A speech and language therapist is a specialist with higher education who deals with speech, language, reading and writing disorders in people of all ages.

The speech and language therapist assesses and evaluates speech deficiencies in order to address them early, find strengths and, based on these, carry out remedial and developmental work.

It is particularly important for preschool children to be assessed and provided with activities to prepare them for school.

Myofunctional therapy

Myofunctional therapy is a method based on exercises for muscle in the face, lips, tongue.

USEFUL

The first year of life may be the first time a newborn needs a speech and language therapist, but at the same time, the first encounter with a speech therapist may be at a very old age after various brain diseases.

However, the most frequent referrals to speech and language therapists are preschool and primary school children with speech and language disorders of various origins.
