The Basics Of Speech Language Pathology

Defining some basic terms is essential when first learning about speech and language. For example, many people use speech, language, and communication interchangeably. Speech-language therapists and audiologists, however, mean something particular when using these three words. Luckily, the definitions of the words are easy to understand.

Candidates for Speech & Language Intervention

Children who require speech and language intervention services may struggle with one, some, or all of these areas. Contact our office if you suspect your child may be having communication difficulties.

Can’t Express Basic Needs

A child who can’t express her basic needs to others—they might cry and tantrum but cannot use words or gestures to show her parents what they want—struggles with essential communication.

Lack of Word Understanding

A little one who does not fully understand our words has difficulty with receptive language. For example, a child with a receptive language delay might be unable to follow simple directions, respond to her name, or find pictures in a book.

No Expressive Language

A toddler who understands everything you say and is good at communicating through gestures and eye contact but who doesn’t yet use any actual words is having difficulty with expressive language.

Unintelligible Speech

A child who is talking a blue streak, using lots of words and sentences, but whose speech is not understood by others, is having difficulty with speech or articulation.

Fluency Issues

A child with lots of words but struggling to speak without repeating words and syllables multiple times has difficulty with fluency.

Hoarse or Raspy Voice

A child who uses sentences, understands language well, and produces speech sounds well but who has a habitually hoarse voice might have a voice disorder.

Auditory Processing Program

Our exceptional, friendly staff is one of our greatest assets, and we are proud of their long-time association with our office located in Rye, NY. Patients often tell us how well we work together as a team.
