Speech therapy

Why you need speech therapy classes

If a child has any speech defects, it is best to immediately consult a specialist. The fact is that many parents think that the child’s speech will improve over time without any speech therapy procedures. This is not the case, and the later you see a doctor, the more difficult and longer the treatment will take. The reasons for treatment vary depending on the age of the child:

• If at 2 years the child can not use short sentences or expresses his desires confusedly, it is necessary to contact a professional. Special classes for children 2, 3 years will help to solve the problem quickly and effectively.
• In 3-4 years, the child does not bind individual sentences, can not freely pronounce hissing sounds or have any other violations.–So you have to make an appointment.
• In 5-6 years, children should freely express their thoughts, clearly distinguish and pronounce sounds.«r»and«l». If there are difficulties in communicating with a child at this age, it is necessary to consult a specialist to avoid problems at school.

Any violation of speech development requires contacting a specialist who will be able to identify the causes and effectively solve the problem. It should be noted that if you delay the treatment, the treatment is significantly prolonged. There are cases that classes for children 9 years, allow only to correct some sounds, and it takes a lot of time, because the speech apparatus has already formed.

How classes are going

The most effective form of interaction is individual speech therapy classes. They may differ in detail, for example, children 4, 5 years old perceive information differently than their older peers, but the basic plan of the classes is the same:

• A conversation that allows you to identify the current state of the patient sets the child and parents for close interaction.
• Warm up includes a set of exercises aimed at developing articulation skills and proper breathing, as well as training muscles.
• Performing exercises. It includes a set of tasks that are prepared for a specific visit. It can include both breathing exercises and training to pronounce various sounds by pronouncing verbal triads, individual syllables, poems, ready-made speech formulas, etc. Speech therapy classes for children 3, 4 years old include play elements.

The work is carried out systematically on the principle from simple to complex, which allows you to gradually correct all speech problems of the patient. In most cases, homework that parents control is offered.
