Why Literacy?
Words That Transform:
Speech Therapy and Reading
Why it matters:
As a speech therapist specializing in literacy, our expertise is vital in addressing speech-language disorders and supporting the need for reading intervention.
Let's explore some eye-opening statistics that highlight the importance of your work and the impact of language disorders on children and adults.
Language Disorders
Approximately 7-10% of children experience language disorders.
Academic implications:
-
30-75% of children with language disorders may experience reading difficulties.
-
60% of children with language disorders continue to experience difficulties in adulthood (Source: ASHA, NIDCD).
Articulation Disorders
An estimated 2-25% of preschool-age children experience articulation disorders.
Academic implications:
-
Articulation disorders may negatively affect a child's phonological awareness, spelling, and reading skills.
-
Untreated articulation disorders can lead to decreased self-esteem and social isolation for children.
Early Intervention is Key
Early intervention can significantly improve a child's chances of academic success, reducing the need for remediation.
