How Can Speech Language Therapy Help a Child with Dyslexia?
A speech-language pathologist (SLP) can be an integral part of both assessing and treating children with dyslexia. SLPs are trained to help children with challenges such as language comprehension, articulation of speech and ideas, auditory processing, and short-term memory—all of which are commonly associated with dyslexia. SLPs can also collaborate with families, teachers, and other members of a child’s support team to ensure that a child with dyslexia is receiving comprehensive intervention.
