There are warning signs that that can signal a potential communication disorder. Even if you are still unsure if your child is at risk, having your child receive a free screening can help give you peace of mind.

It seems like there’s an app for just about everything these days! There are several iPad and iPhone applications (apps) available that help address speech and language skills that can be used at home or on the go. Many of these apps are in the format of games so your child won’t even realize they are working on speech and language skills.

How to Practice Articulation at Home

One of the most common questions I get from parents is how can they help a child’s articulation skills outside of traditional speech-language therapy. I have compiled a list of tips and tricks that parents can incorporate into your child’s day to help with articulation skills.

What is Articulation?

Articulation is the ability to physically move the tongue, lips, teeth and jaw to produce sequences of speech sounds, which make up words and sentences.

Signs of Auditory Processing Disorder

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), also known as Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD), refers to a child’s ability to manage what he or she hears. APD makes it difficult for the individual to process and use auditory information. Many of the symptoms of APD overlap with ADHD as well as learning and language disorders. APD can negatively impact a child’s ability to interact with people, learn, and concentrate.

It is important to use a multidisciplinary approach to fully understand the cluster of problems associated with APD. This being said only an audiologist can make the diagnosis of APD.
