What is speech therapy?
For children, speech and language therapy typically involves working with a trained therapist to improve communication skills such as:
Language Skills:
This includes helping children understand and use language, vocabulary development, grammar, sentence structure, and word associations.
Articulation skills:
This involves working on the sounds and pronunciation of words, helping children to form sounds and words more clearly.
Fluency skills:
This includes helping children with stuttering or stammering and improving the flow of speech.
Social communication skills:
This involves helping children to understand social cues, body language, and non-verbal communication to improve their ability to interact with others.
Speech and language therapy may involve various techniques and tools, such as games, exercises, and activities to improve your child's communication skills.
It may also include working with you and to provide guidance and support to help your child continue practising and improving their skills at home.
The therapy is tailored to meet the individual needs of each child, and the duration of the therapy can vary depending on the child's progress and goals.
How is ADHD Linked to Communication Differences?

Children with ADHD might show difficulties in understanding and using spoken language. They might struggle to initiate, maintain and understand conversations. ADHD can be affected.
