Childhood Speech Disorders: Navigating Diagnosis and Treatment

This presentation will give an overview of the different types of childhood speech disorders, how they’re diagnosed, and current research evidence on effective treatment techniques. Etiologies of childhood speech disorders will be discussed, with a particular focus on motor-based speech disorders. Information on speech development milestones and “red flags” for different types of speech disorders will be reviewed. Resources and tips will be provided to help parents navigate their child’s diagnosis and advocate for their child’s needs.
