Speech therapy is the specialist field that offers diagnostics, therapy and counselling for speech development problems and feeding disorders.
When a child does not start talking or only speaks a few words at the age of two, many parents are worried. They often don't know how to react or how to communicate with their child. In this case, speech therapy offers clarification and counselling.
The speech therapists at the UKBB use play and language development tests to determine whether there is a delay in language development. A speech therapy assessment can provide information about the child's abilities required for language acquisition. If a speech development disorder is present, early speech therapy is required. In addition, speech therapists advise parents on how they can improve communication with their child in the event of an existing developmental disorder.
The offer includes, among other things:
If infants and toddlers have difficulties with feeding - sucking, chewing and swallowing - the swallowing consultation at the UKBB can carry out appropriate investigations, recommend therapy and advise parents.
