Speech Therapy

Submitted by: Develop Speech

There are four basic skills in communicating any language. Those are listening, speaking, reading and writing. The training for the above skills is imparted to the children from the parents to the teachers.

But sometimes children have problems saying certain sounds or words making it hard for others to understand what they’re trying to say. If we find the following problems of the kids, then they require a speech therapy for toddlers.

. Trouble saying certain sounds words correctly,

. When the vocal quality of an individual is altered/ changed in such a way that it is thought to be abnormal to the listener,

. Difficulty understanding people or having trouble putting words together to express thoughts, . Repeating certain sounds and/or having trouble saying a complete word, Stuttering is a fluency disorder.

Some children will grow out of the problem themselves, while others will need to see a speech or language therapist to remedy the problem.

Speech therapy for children is the treatment or the correction of a speech impairment which resulted from birth, or from disease, injury or prior medical treatment. It is the skill to identify types of communication problems (articulation; fluency; voice; receptive and expressive language disorders, etc.) and the best way to treat them.

Speech Pathologists provide a wide range of services, mainly on an individual basis, but also as support for individuals, families, support groups, and providing information for the general public. Speech services begin with initial screening for communication and swallowing disorders and continue with assessment and diagnosis, consultation for the provision of advice regarding management, intervention and treatment, and provision counseling and other follow-up services for these disorders. Speech-therapist can work in a wide range of settings. The clinical environments include both public and private hospitals, and home-health care. They also work as part of the support structure in the education system working in public and private schools, colleges, and universities. Speech-language experts agree that parental involvement is crucial to the success of a child’s progress in speech or language therapy.

Adults may also experience speech and language difficulties for a variety of reasons. Information about specific types of speech and language disorders and as of some medical conditions which require speech therapy for adults are as follows:

SPEECH DISORDERS..

Apraxia of speech is a motor speech disorder. It is caused by damage to the parts of the brain related to speaking. Other terms include apraxia of speech, acquired apraxia of speech, verbal apraxia, and dyspraxia. People with apraxia of speech have trouble sequencing the sounds in syllables and words. The severity depends on the nature of the brain damage.

Dysarthria The muscles of the mouth, face, and respiratory system may become weak, move slowly, or not move at all after a stroke or other brain injury. The type and severity of dysarthria depend on which area of the nervous system is affected.

Stuttering affects the fluency of speech. It begins during childhood and, in some cases, lasts throughout life. The disorder is characterized by disruptions in the production of speech sounds, also called “disfluency.” Most people produce brief disfluency from time to time. For instance, some words are repeated and others are preceded by “um” or “uh.” Disfluency are not necessarily a problem; however, they can impede communication when a person produces too many of them.

LANGUAGE DISORDERS.

Aphasia is a disorder that results from damage to the parts of the brain that contain language. Aphasia causes problems with any or all the following: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

Some medical conditions like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Dementia, Huntington’s disease, Laryngeal Cancer, Oral Cancer, Right Hemisphere Brain Injury, Stroke, Traumatic Brain Injury

There are separate standardized assessment tools administered for infants, school-aged children, adolescents and adults. Assessments primarily examine the form, content, and use of language, as well as reading, writing, and some cognitive functions. Speech therapy ideas have an in-depth understanding of language and communication, knowledge of how and where it breaks down, and how to capitalize on existing skills.

I grew up in South Carolina. In fact, my ancestors were one of the first Europeans to land on the Carolina Shore. I’ve eaten in every single barbeque place within South Carolina that’s worth trying and beyond my share of the ones which weren’t. You can surely bet your short ribs I know a thing or two about Barbeque. If it’s true, it ain’t bragging.

You could wake me from a dead slumber and I’ll mix a batch of barbeque sauce that’ll reform your life. I know the best sugar and white vinegar sauce, the very best tomato base sauce and the best absolutely-to-die-for traditional Carolina type mustard base sauce. Don’t bother taking me to the hospital if I’m ever in a car wreck and need a transfusion. These guys can not help me. Get me to the closest authentic, down home barbecue joint and plug me right into a bottle of barbecue sauce.

I’ll admit, when many people think about Florence, they don’t consider highbrow cuisine. They most likely think about tobacco or cotton or the dang highway as well as just getting on down the road. That would certainly be a miscalculation. You see, the trouble with most people whenever it pertains to dining is they don’t know the distinction between really good food and a rubber yoga mat. I’m not making this up. Last evening on the news, a national restaurant chain admitted to putting the very same substance in their sandwich buns that’s used to develop foam neoprene yoga exercise mats. People really did not even know they were dining it.

Here’s the best way you can easily discriminate between good food and foam neoprene. In the event that the food you’re eating reminds you of a church supper on the grounds, why, that is truly good food. , if it reminds you of a television commercial spit it out.. It quite likely has plastic in it and goodness knows what other things. Supposing that you have no idea exactly what a church dinner on the grounds is, you just best get your behind in the closest Baptist church. African-american or white, it really don’t make no difference, just get in there and get saved. We can talk barbecue.

Certainly there’s several conglomerate barbecue establishments in town and one snuck up from Georgia, although it ain’t all bad. You’ll do alright if you go to any of these establishments, however you can eat chain restaurant barbecue anyplace. When you find yourself in Florence why not treat yourself to some real, South Carolina style barbeque along with a Florence flare. Expand your gastronomical boundaries and get a little down home culture too.

Here’s a secret about barbecue joints in Florence only the locals know. I may lose my Palmetto Barbecue Association membership, but the truth must be told and I ain’t afraid. In Florence, only the true blue, genuine, bona fide, raised in the South barbecue joints serve Chicken Bog.

I’m just not going to reveal to you what Chicken Bog is. You need to find out on your own. I’ll simply just say you do not want to miss it and you can’t find it everywhere else.

Now, permit me to tell you about the real barbecue restaurants in Florence South Carolina. A few of them are almost famous, but a few of the very best one’s are supersecret. I am really just going to share with you about the two finest ones.

Bill Travis owns Wholly Smokin’ and he’s like the Rainman of Barbecue. If you meet him, you’ll probably think he doesn’t have a lick of sense, but when you taste his barbecue you’ll know you’re in the presence of a barbecue genius. Bill’s barbecue is so good it’ll make a Yankee move south.

Go over to Roger’s Barbecue if you’ve already tried Wholly Smokin and are ready for another taste of barbecue heaven. Roger’s offers a loaded menu of home style cooking. You’ll swear to god your own gran is back there in the kitchen. Where as Bill Travis has committed his lifetime to mastering the best barbecue. Roger was actually called up by The almighty himself to feed people the finest comfort food on the planet. Roger’s barbeque is doggone great, however you’ll wish to try out his fried chicken too plus his Mac and Cheese. Finish it off with home made blueberry custard. Gossip has it that the Governor eats there once a week. You’ll find Roger’s Barbecue at 2004 Second LP Street in Florence, or perhaps give them a call at 843-673-2727.

Okay, I got to wrap this up. A barbecue secret police SWAT team just pulled in my front yard. There’s much more I ‘d like to tell you however it’ll must wait for another time. Listen, you got to quit chewing on neoprene foam plastic and give the barbecue restaurants in Florence a whack. It’ll change your life.
