why does child need Speech Therapy

Communication and food are important to your child’s development and well-being. There are some types of delays or disorders a child, teenager or adolescent may have that require the help of a speech pathologist, including problems with:
• Feeding or swallowing
• Articulation
• Fluency
• Voice
Some children also need help with communication skills, such as use of words or composing sentences. For example, your child with down disorder usually understands much more of what he hears than he shows by words when he speaks. Your child could help from speech therapy to improve his spoken language, grammar and use of speech.
