Developmental language disorder (DLD) is diagnosed when a child’slanguage skills are persistently below the level expected for thechild’s age. In DLD, language deficits occur in the absence of aknown biomedical condition, such as autism spectrum disorder or
Down syndrome, and interfere with the child’s ability tocommunicate effectively with other people. DLD can negativelyimpact children’s performance at school and their confidence. Our SLPs are uniquely trained in helping children with DLD.
Articulation and phonology refer to the way sound is produced. A
child with an articulation disorder has problems forming speech
sounds properly. A child with a phonological disorder can produce
the sounds correctly, but may use them in the wrong place.
When young children are growing, they develop speech sounds in a
predictable order. It is normal for young children to make speech
errors as their language develops; however, children with an
articulation or phonological disorder will be difficult to understand
when other children their age are already speaking clearly.
At Rehabplus, a qualified speech pathologist will assess your child if
there are any concerns about the quality of the sounds they make,
the way they talk, or their ability to be understood.
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that
can cause significant social, communication, and behavioral
challenges. The term “spectrum” refers to the wide range of
symptoms, skills, and levels of impairment that people with ASD
can have.
ASD affects people in different ways and can range from mild to
severe. People with ASD share some symptoms, such as difficulties
with social interaction, but there are differences in when the
symptoms start, how severe they are, the number of symptoms,
and whether other problems are present. The symptoms and their
severity can change over time.
The behavioral signs of ASD often appear early in development.
Many children show symptoms by 12 months to 18 months of age
or earlier.
Children with ASD may have difficulty developing language skills
and understanding what others say to them. They also often have
difficulty communicating nonverbally, such as through hand
gestures, eye contact, and facial expressions. At Rehabplus, our
qualified speech-language pathologists perform a comprehensive
evaluation of your child’s ability to communicate, and design an
appropriate treatment program.
How can voice problems be helped?
Voice problems are usually treated successfully. Voice therapy is
frequently the first treatment choice for voice problems in children.
Voice problems and vocal nodules may become smaller or even
eliminated by voice therapy alone. At Rehabplus, our speech
language pathologists can evaluate your children’s voice and recommend the best treatments.
