Speech and language impairments in children are linked to reading and writing difficulties.
Speech-Language Pathologists are trained to be able to assess and provide treatment for children with reading and literacy disorders.

Speech and Language Therapy

can help:

Build and reinforce relationships between early spoken language and early pre-literacy abilities and consider influences of parent-child interactions in early shared storybook interactions;
Address difficulties involving phonological awareness, memory, and retrieval;
Teach children to use tactile-kinesthetic and auditory cues in reading and writing;
Analyze how the language demands of textbooks, academic talk, and curriculum may stress a student’s capabilities at different age and grade levels; and
Conduct analyses of written language, including spelling, to generate intervention that matches the needs of individual students.
