Logopedics is far more than simply speech therapy. These therapies help people with deficiencies in their speech, pronunciation, voice, swallowing abilities or hearing.
Interpersonal communication skills are improved or restored through individual therapy.
Speech therapy is provided to treat speech disorders or defects.
These disorders can be identified when the patient possesses all of the necessary articulatory motor skills but there is still a notable disruption in the speech. This denotes a disturbance in the mental generation of speech (deficiency in speech construction and the speech faculty). Speech disorders and speaking disorders can appear together.
