Language stimulation for children: Does your child under 3 understand what you say but not speak enough? Do you feel that something is not right with your language? Don't wait any longer! It's time to learn about speech therapy. Waiting is risking your child developing a speech pathology and wasting valuable time. Language development is interrelated with the child's cognitive, social, and emotional development and is a crucial part of healthy child development. This is why it is of great importance to enhance all their skills and abilities. A child who knows how to communicate his feelings, opinions and wishes, who is heard and understood will be a healthy and happy child!
Speech and language development disorders: Parents or teachers often identify the presence of a speech or language disorder in their children or students when they enter preschool or school. They are the ones who begin to observe that something is not right, that the child is lagging behind and they cannot find the cause of the problem, nor the way for the child to improve. Speech therapy at the right time is the solution. Through evaluation instruments and intervention methods designed especially for each case, the therapist will ensure that your child is level with his peers. Among the most common disorders in these stages are Speech Sound Disorders, Language Developmental Delay, Specific Language Disorder, Speech Apraxia.
Stuttering: Speech therapy is the discipline of intervening in disruptions of speech flow in preschoolers, school children, adolescents, and adults. We offer a comprehensive and updated approach to pathologies such as stuttering and cluttering. Rocío Vargas has a specialty in stuttering.
Voice disorders: Speech therapy also rehabilitates all those difficulties related to the use of voice. For example, the rehabilitation of patients who have suffered some alteration in the qualities of their voice due to some pathology such as paralysis of the vocal cord, polyps, nodules, vocal excess, cancer, etc.
Language disorders associated with other pathologies: There are many disorders or syndromes that by their nature cause dysfunctions in the area of communication. These people will need support from speech therapy for a long time. Within these disorders we find:
- Genetic Disorders: Down Syndrome or Syndromes with Associated Intellectual Deficit
- Emotional or Behavioral Disorders: Anxiety Disorders , Autism Spectrum Disorders
- Neurological Disorders: Traumatic Brain Injury, Cerebrovascular Event
- Degenerative Diseases: chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Senile Dementia, among others.
Afternoons of homework and tutoring: As parents we encounter difficulties when doing homework with children, either for reasons of time or the presence of learning problems. We help your child by offering a space with a professional in the educational area who will also provide tools to overcome their difficulties.
Workshops and talks: Workshops and informative talks for parents, teachers, relatives, caregivers and patients on various topics of interest. We go to your institution or we organize it in our facilities. Knowledge and information are the keys to improvement.
Specialized therapies aimed at the elderly: Aging is an inevitable process and just as the body's functions are losing their optimal capabilities, communication also deteriorates over time. In addition to this problem, the elderly are often invisible in the home. It is important that the person feels useful, accompanied, listened to and entertained. It is for this reason that at TerapeutaDelLenguaje we offer a series of therapies designed and directed specifically for this population. We offer an intervention that includes:
