Speech Therapy

Speech therapists improve communication problems by developing articulation,fluency and resonance of speech. Speech therapists also improve the ability to understand and Express language. If a child of age 2 year or more is not talking yet or speaks only two words together then the child needs speech therapy to say words clearly.
