CDC employs licensed Speech-Language Pathologists, also called Speech Therapists, who provide speech and language therapy (SLT) for children birth through age five who qualify for early intervention.
Overview
Speech-Language Therapy (SLT) for children birth through age five usually consists of working with children who cannot produce speech sounds, or cannot produce sounds clearly (articulation delay), those with speech rhythm and fluency difficulties (such as stuttering), swallowing difficulties, and/or voice disorders. Additionally, SLT can help develop the ability to understand language, produce meaningful language, and improve communication, attention, memory, and problem solving skills. As the child grows and develops, augmentative equipment and/or alternative communication options are addressed based on individual needs.
