therapist but also a practitioner of audiology she owns 9 clinics in Mumbai and
Goa. She is director of Atharva speech and hearing care.Audiology is something related to hearing and also conducting various
tests providing the appropriate aid to the person.Dr
Raut shares the fact to identify the need for speech therapy in children, she
says every child approximately speaks 10 meaningful words by his first
birthday. Not happening so indicates the child is delayed in speech then
parents should diagnose it and access treatment early so that future
difficulties can be avoided.
Treatment for speech related problems is speech therapy. This Therapy is
an amalgamation of routine speech therapy , brain gym and NDT
(neurodevelopmental therapy). Brain gym is the set of 26 exercises which helps
in brain impulse stimulations. Dr Raut says along with the therapies
parent's support to the child is must. Therapy lasts 45-60 mins, once or twice
a week depending on the case but Speaking needs practice, thus To bring these
therapies in effect, practice is needed so that effective breathing, oral &
brain cooperation is developed as early as possible in the child. Home Program is provided where parents have
to ensure that it is run through by a child at home. Parents are prone to make these mistakes
which can hinder the child's growth. These suggestions can do wonders if
followed: 1.
Don't take away your child's
voice by being their voice… Parents let them
speak on their own may be a bit slower but let them try. 2.
Parents tend to stressify the
child's improvement process by overburdening them with exercises, it can make the case even worse so you need to
josle on to make the practice joyful. 3.
Parents concerned about their
expectation mark tend to weaken a child's self-esteem by putting them into the
interaction with strangers or anonymous to the child. Parents must make
sure that their child should be comfortable in situations which can raise a
child's graph. Major Measures At Household Level! Accepting the situation is a primary thing as
an initiative. When your child turns breathless and starts
to stutter, make them stop , let them breathe and ask them to start their
speech again. This makes them conscious of how they are
speaking. Wait and Restart , Works impressively! Dr Raut emphasizes more on a continuous go
through of exercises a child must be encouraged by the parents on a daily basis
as there are no external tools needed, results can be bought at home with basic
tools available. 'Consistency is mother of learning' Child's progress is in parents' hands as they
are the one who can mould their kids through training. To connect with Dr Ashwini Raut
