Speech Therapy

A speech therapist helps both children and adults who experience difficulties expressing thoughts verbally or in writing. During the initial consultation, the issue is identified and a therapy plan is created. Throughout the therapy process, session-specific goals are set and exercises tailored to the individual’s needs are developed.

Treatment of Verbal and Written Speech Disorders

Speech therapists assist children and adults who have trouble expressing thoughts either orally or in writing.

In the first consultation, the issue is assessed and a personalized therapy plan is created. Each session focuses on specific goals and includes exercises based on the nature of the problem. Additional support materials and homework (e.g. pictures, texts) are also prepared. For children, the parent’s involvement is crucial—applying learned skills daily at home ensures better progress.

For children, therapy sessions typically last 30–45 minutes, followed by parental guidance.
For adults, sessions generally last 60 minutes.
