Speech therapy promotes individuals who have difficulty speaking and communicating disorders to improve their exchange of information. Patients with speech issues experience autism, hearing loss, and developmental delays. Most patients are adolescents and toddlers may be able to comprehend language but not communicate it properly. Facial expressions and oral habits are also developed with a professional speech therapist. Utensils such as popsicle sticks, fingers, whistles and straws are implemented to advance in muscular abilities of the mouth. Special communication devices are utilized to assist in more advanced cases. For example, a computer with a voice synthesizer allows for a child to trace and point out their intentions correctly. Each patient’s necessities and requirements are different, therefore one on one treatment is important. Each therapists tailors their oral activities to the necessity of the patient.
