Speech therapy begins with a detailed assessment to identify the individual’s specific challenges in areas like articulation, language, voice, or social skills. Based on the assessment, the therapist develops a personalised treatment plan, which may include exercises to improve sound production, expand vocabulary, strengthen language comprehension, and develop conversational skills. Therapists may use visual aids, games, or digital tools to make therapy engaging and effective, particularly for children. For those with speech fluency issues, such as stuttering, techniques like controlled breathing and pacing are practiced to enhance fluency. Additionally, for clients with swallowing issues, therapists employ exercises and strategies to improve muscle control and reduce risks during eating and drinking.
