Speech Therapy treats a broad range of speech and language delays and disorders in children and adults. Professional Speech Therapy in Arlington Heights and the surrounding community. Expressive and Receptive Language Disorders Difficulty using language (expressive) to communicate thoughts and ideas (e.g., asking questions, creating grammatically appropriate sentences, labeling objects) or difficulty understanding (receptive) language (e.g., following directions, answering questions, identifying vocabulary). Articulation Disorder Difficulty producing speech sounds, often leading to decreased speech intelligibility. Articulation errors may involve the omission, substitution, or alteration of specific sounds. An example of an articulation error includes "w" for "r" (i.e., "wabbit" for "rabbit"). An articulation disorder often involves errors that are produced past the expected age. Phonological Disorder Involves patterns of sound errors. Examples of phonological errors include velar fronting (i.g., "tar" for "car"), stopping (e.g., "toup" for "soup"), or cluster reduction (e.g., "top" for "stop"). Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) Difficulty coordinating movements of the lips, tongue, and/or jaw to produce sounds, syllables, and words. Children with CAS often know what they want to say, but have difficulty executing their message. Sensory-Based Feeding Difficulties Difficulty with taste, texture, sight, and/or smell of food. Children with sensory feeding difficulties may have a significantly limited variety of tastes and textures in their diets. Maladaptive behaviors around mealtimes may cause frustration for both the child and family. Pragmatic Language Issues Difficulty using language appropriately in social situations. Examples of pragmatic language skills include appropriate eye contact, facial expressions, body language, greetings, and topic initiation and maintenance. Orofacial Myology (OMD) is a specialized oral discipline that evaluates and treats a variety of oral and facial (orofacial) muscle (myo-) postural and functional disorders and habit patterns that may disrupt normal dental development and also create cosmetic problems.
