Speech-Language Therapy focuses on the assessment and remediation of Language Skills, Communication, Articulation, Oral-motor and Feeding di�culties. Speech-Language Therapists are trained in prevention, screening, consultation, assessment and diagnosis, treatment and follow-up services.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM SPEECH-LANGUAGE THERAPY
At Dynamics we work with children of any age. Parents may bring their children as young as 18 months old, when the child does not produce as many words or phrases as their peers. Pre-School and school aged
children are often referred by their teachers who identify di�culties with communication
and language which may a�ect their ability to cope in school.
