speech
therapy
Depending on the location and extent of injury, many children with
stroke will have problems with speaking language (expressive) or
understanding language (receptive). Speech therapists can aid in
diagnosing and treating some of the problems related to speech. Most
speech therapists have completed a masters degree and are also referred to
as speech language pathologists (SLP). Some have taken extra training to
work with the pediatric population. Some therapists specialize in
different aspects of language such as swallowing and eating problems
(oral-motor).CHASA sites related to speech:
