    Speech

    A speech disorder in children is when a little one has trouble making sounds, putting words together, or using their voice in a way that others understand easily. It might look like difficulty saying certain letters, mixing up sounds, or even feeling shy to speak because others don’t get what they’re trying to say. But here’s the fun part — every speech challenge is just the start of an amazing adventure.

    Language

    Language disorders in children affect the ability to understand or use spoken, written, or other language systems. These disorders can impact vocabulary, sentence structure, and conversation skills. Kids might have trouble expressing their thoughts clearly or understanding what others say, which can make social interactions and learning challenging.

    Common signs include limited vocabulary for their age, difficulty following directions, trouble forming sentences, and challenges with storytelling or describing events. Some children might mix up sounds or struggle with grammar rules, making their speech difficult to understand.

    Fluency

    Fluency or stuttering disorder in children is a communication challenge where the flow of speech is interrupted by repetitions, prolongations, or blocks of sounds, syllables, or words. It often shows up when little ones are just starting to find their voice and express themselves. You might notice your child repeating the first sound of a word (like “b-b-ball”), stretching out a sound (“ssssee the dog”), or suddenly stopping mid-word.

    Most kids go through a phase of “normal disfluency” between ages 2 and 5 when language is exploding, and they are juggling new words and concepts; this isn’t cause for concern. But if stuttering persists beyond six months, gets worse, or causes frustration, seeking support from a speech-language pathologist can help.

    Voice

    When a child’s voice sounds hoarse, weak, or different for an extended period, it might be a sign of a voice disorder. Before starting any therapy, it’s important for an ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist to examine the child. The ENT will carefully check the vocal cords and rule out any medical issues like nodules, polyps, or infections. Only after a clear diagnosis can the right treatment plan, including speech therapy, be designed to help the child find their confident, clear voice again

    Social Skills

    Building social skills in kids is like giving them a superpower for life! These skills help children learn how to share, take turns, read facial expressions, and work well with others. Social skills include things like making eye contact, listening actively, using polite words, and understanding emotions—both their own and those of their friends.
