Speech Therapy
Speech therapy is a clinical intervention designed to improve communication skills and treat disorders that affect speaking, understanding, expression, reading, writing, and swallowing. These difficulties may arise due to developmental delays, neurological conditions, trauma, or structural anomalies.
