Speech therapy is clinical intervention provided by speech-language pathologists to assess and treat communication and swallowing disorders. Therapy focuses on improving speech articulation, language comprehension and expression, and oral-motor skills necessary for eating and speaking. For children with birth injuries affecting communication abilities, speech therapy is often an essential component of their treatment plan, helping them develop the skills needed to express themselves and interact with others.
