Speech therapy not only addresses a child’s articulation skills, but receptive language, expresive language, and pragmatic language (understanding the meaning of language) as well. In addition, speech language pathologists (SLPs) also work to improve social skills, including social interaction with peers, eye contact, nonverbal language skills, etc. Speech pathologists also treat oral motor and feeding disorders which may include tongue thrust swallow patterns and food aversions.
