Understanding the need for speech therapy
To many Singaporeans, speech therapy is about the treatment of speech disorders such as stuttering. However, speech therapists actually help us with much more than that. Besides speech disorders, speech therapists also treat children and adults who develop issues with communication, swallowing and language understanding, which may arise during childhood or from conditions such as Parkinson’s, stroke or a brain injury.
Through accurate diagnosis and prescribing suitable exercises, speech therapy helps us regain independence, communicate effectively and resume activities of daily living.
As with most forms of therapy and rehabilitation, speech therapy takes time and patience. Often, you will have to go through regular sessions over many months before any visible improvement can be seen. Everyone grows at their own pace to achieve their goals but the key to recovery is to keep trying and never give up.
