What is Aphasia?

Aphasia is a language disorder caused by brain damage that affects speaking, understanding, reading, or writing—but not intelligence. Speech therapy helps restore communication.

ACTIVITIES

Language Learning Through Song

Singing boosts language skills by building vocabulary, sentence structure, and pre-literacy through repetition, rhymes, movement, and interactive pauses in songs.

ACTIVITIES

Everyday Language Learning: Mealtimes

Mealtimes are great for building language! Describing food, asking open-ended questions, counting, and singing can boost vocabulary and communication skills.

Common Speech Sound Errors in Children with Cleft Palate and How Therapy Helps
