Speech therapy is needed when an individual exhibits difficulties with communication or swallowing. For children, signs that speech therapy might be necessary include delays in reaching language milestones (e.g., first words, forming sentences), difficulty understanding or following directions, unclear speech or articulation errors, stuttering or other fluency issues, voice problems (e.g., hoarseness), and difficulties with social communication. In adults, speech therapy may be required after a stroke, head injury, or due to neurological conditions, resulting in difficulties with speaking, understanding language (aphasia), reading, writing, voice changes, or cognitive-communication impairments (e.g., memory, attention impacting communication). Swallowing difficulties (dysphagia) at any age are a significant reason to seek speech therapy. Signs of dysphagia can include coughing or choking while eating or drinking, a wet or gurgly voice after swallowing, difficulty chewing or moving food in the mouth, food sticking in the throat, and frequent heartburn or chest discomfort. Early identification of communication and swallowing difficulties is crucial for timely intervention and better outcomes. If you observe any of these signs in yourself or a loved one, a speech-language pathology evaluation is recommended to determine the nature and extent of the problem and develop an appropriate treatment plan.
