When a person is unable to produce speech sounds correctly or fluently, or has problems with his or her voice, then he or she has a speech disorder. Difficulties pronouncing sounds, or articulation disorders, and stuttering are examples of speech disorders.

When a person has trouble understanding others (receptive language), or sharing thoughts, ideas, and feelings completely (expressive language), then he or she has a language disorder. A stroke can result in aphasia, or a language disorder.
Both children and adults can have speech and language disorders. They can occur as a result of a medical problem or have no known cause.

Types of speech disorders

Specializing in pediatric speech therapy, our clinic provides diagnostic and therapeutic services for children of all ages. Certified Therapist with extra training and experience in several areas provide therapy.

At Krish Speech & Hearing Clinic, our clinicians work with patients, parents and families so that they have the best possible understanding of the patient’s communication difficulties. The active involvement of patients and their families in the treatment process is an essential part of therapy and increases the likelihood of successful patient outcomes. Through this collaborative effort, patients are able to improve specific communication skills according to their individual needs.

Our clinicians use assessment methods, including qualitative and standardized tests to analyze and diagnose the many speech, swallowing, language, voice and cognitive-communication problems, as well as their own clinical judgment and experience. Generally, before any treatment, a therapist will spend much time testing, assessing and learning about a client before therapy begins. They work diligently to develop an individualized plan of care tailored to each client’s needs. They also keep detailed records on the initial evaluation, progress of their clients and complete full discharge reports when treatment is completed.
