Speech and Language Impairments

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

Speech and language impairments encompass a broad range of communication disorders, including stuttering and difficulties with articulation, fluency, language, or voice. Developmental delays should be screened during routine health visits, and any identified deficits in speech and language acquisition should prompt immediate referral to a speech-language pathologist for evaluation. Primary management for such impairments in school-aged children typically involves speech/language therapy and enrollment in early intervention or special education programs.
