Susan Olding provides a Private Speech & Language Service for adults and children to Thame in Oxfordshire and the surrounding area
Speech and language problems may present as difficulties with:
- Pronouncing or using particular consonants and vowels (Dyspraxia, phonological disorder, articulation difficulties)
- Understanding spoken language (delayed language development, or specific language impairment - comprehension)
- Expressing thoughts and ideas, either in spoken or written language (delayed language development, or specific language impairment - expression)
- Speaking smoothly (dysfluent speech or stammering)
- Poor voice quality (hoarse voice, vocal strain)
Speech and language difficulties can have a profound effect on an individual's ability to function happily within the family, peer group or school setting.
