When individuals struggle with speech and language they may have difficulties producing sounds correctly or communicating effectively. Common speech and language disorders include articulation, phonetic, stuttering, expressive and receptive language and apraxia. As such an important part of overall development, early intervention is critical for best results.
HOW CAN NEUROFEEDBACK HELP?
Individuals with Speech and Language Disorders often present with poor brain wave functionality in the areas of the brain associated with speech and language production and/or the motor cortex. Neurofeedback changes the brain waves ratios to healthier, more regulated functioning, and therefore improves communication, speech, and language.
HOW CAN BIOFEEDBACK HELP?
Biofeedback is designed to help the Central Nervous System (CNS) respond more effectively to demands/stressors in the environment so that it can more readily engage. Biofeedback allows the person to calm or activate the body so that it can more effectively support the brain in engaging in the task at hand.
HOW CAN COUNSELING HELP?
Speech and language difficulties often co-exist with other diagnoses such as ASD and ADHD. Behavioral therapy, parent coaching and executive function training gives our clients the tools to learn more effective and productive ways to manage their environment. Lifestyle coaching is also often involved as simple changes to diet, exercise, sleep routines, screen time and stress management can create drastic improvements in symptoms.
