ORTHOPHONY
What is speech therapy?
Speech-language pathology is a health profession belonging to the family of care professions.
It involves preventing, assessing and treating difficulties or disorders:
● in oral and written language and communication,
● in oro-myo-facial functions,
● in other cognitive activities, including those related to phonation, speech, oral and written language, mathematical cognition.
When should I ask for a speech therapy assessment?
● If your child was previously monitored and his or her difficulties persist,
● If the teacher reports it, or the parents themselves observe difficulties with language, reading, writing, articulation, comprehension, graphics, logic and reasoning, attention, memory, or that his or her language development is delayed,
● That only the parents understand the child, or that his or her voice is hoarse, or that his or her swallowing is not functional (often resulting in the need for braces).
Parents can contact the speech therapy department for a speech assessment. This request for an assessment must be made by the parents themselves and requires their presence.
