Dysfluencies/Stuttering

An interruption in the flow or rhythm of speech characterized by hesitations, repetitions, or prolongations of sounds, syllables, words, and phrases.

 

Hearing Impairment

When describing hearing loss, we generally look at three categories: type of hearing loss, degree of hearing loss, and configuration of hearing loss. With children, it is especially important to diagnose and treat a hearing loss as early as possible. This limits its potential impact on learning and development.

 

Language Disorders

Characterized by atypical or lack of development of vocabulary, grammar, and social communication skills needed to express and understand thoughts and ideas.

 

Myofunctional Disorders

Also known as tongue thrusting; caused by abnormal pressure on the tongue against the teeth during swallowing, resulting in problems with articulation and dental misalignment.

 

Swallowing Disorders

(Also known as dysphagia) Difficulty swallowing due to various medical conditions that damage sensation or weaken muscle strength or cause discoordination of the muscles involved in swallowing.

 

Vocal Cord Dysfunction

Caused by the discoordinated and/or incomplete opening of the vocal cords, resulting in symptoms such as chronic cough, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, "wheezing", light-headedness, and difficulty swallowing.

 

Voice Disorders

Characterized by inappropriate pitch (too high, too low, or monotonous pitch); loudness (too loud or not loud enough); or quality (harsh, hoarse, breathy, or nasal).
