Dysfluency Therapy for Children
A child occasionally spoke haltingly pronouncing words. But dysfluency ( disturbance of speech ) would be a problem for children if it makes it difficult to communicate and attract people’s attention, making the child becomes frustrated or embarrassed.
Disturbance of speech to the child happened because of problems with the process of interaction that the message delivery process from brain to the muscles or body parts working in speech, as quoted from Kidshealth, Tuesday (1/9/2009).
The way to overcome the problem of talking to children is to do therapy directly to pathologies (therapists for speech and language). This therapist will ask the child to read with a loud voice, saying a few words or communicate with the therapist. Usually children with speech problems will do well audiologist a test for the sense of hearing.
Usually, in addition to practicing with the child therapist was also included in a group of children, is needed to see the progress of the development of speaking. In addition, it is important for children to practice at home with their parents or other family members. With frequent practice will help children more quickly freed from the problems in speaking. If you continue to be trained, then it is likely the child will have a normal speaking style is greater.
Children who have problems with speech will feel sad and ashamed, so would prefer not to talk too much. But it’s not a good solution, better explaining the conditions experienced by the child to friends and teachers. We can ask for their help to keep him talking so he could improve the ability to speak the child.
Try to be a good friend to the children and teach children not to be afraid to say if he did not understand what other people are talking about. Children who have problems in speaking ( dysfluency ) be free from these problems if continue to practice, practice and practice and not easily give up.
