Speech therapy in oman

Speech and language therapy (sometimes referred to as ST) aims to improve, and make possible, a child with Cerebral Palsy’s ability to effectively communicate their thoughts and ideas to the world. Communication skills are a vitally important aspect of interacting with others, developing relationships, learning, and working. Speech therapy increases a child’s potential for independence and positively impacts their quality of life.

Speech and language therapy is a process by which a licensed therapist treats communication, speech and language disorders. Speech pathologists increase a child’s oral motor skills and communication acumen by using exercises that train the brain to pronounce – as well as understand and interpret – individual words, sounds, numbers and gestures. Additionally, speech and language pathologists improve functioning of the mouth, jaw and throat muscles (oral motor functioning) that can interfere with not only speech, but also breathing and swallowing – two issues that can pose a significant danger to a child.
