The Advantage
Motor Speech
A motor speech disorder is characterized by a difficulty in the coordination of the speech muscles (tongue, jaw, lips) to produce clear speech. This disorder occurs with or without impairment to the speech muscles. The result is unintelligible speech with decreased clarity.
Early Language
A process by which children begin to understand that they can communicate their needs and wants with others around them. Parent/caregiver education is a crucial step that provides instruction to assist in the development of skills in young children.
Literacy Skills
The ability to read and write. Knowledge of vocabulary, print awareness, phonological awareness and narratives are referred to as pre-literacy skills.
