Is Human speech permanent?
The answer is no because it depends on how a person takes care of their voice. In children, they might have speech delay, language problem, or cognitive – communications issues. In adults, it might be voice, fluency, or feeding and swallowing problems.
In detail, Language disorders are children who have difficulty in reading, writing, and spelling. They might have a problem with both receptive and expressive language disorders.
Voice disorders are if people sounded rough, breathy, or strained, they have difficulty in speaking. Feeding and Swallowing disorders can cause both children and adults to like chewing, swallowing, etc.
Social communication disorders are people having difficulty in expressive and receptive language. So there are many disorders that SLPs would deal with. SLP can also be a therapist who gives treatment and support their daily living in communication. Even selecting, fitting, or any use of prosthetic devices for communication or swallowing processes such as electrolarynx will need therapy.
