Unlocking Communication: How Speech & Language Therapy Empowers Children 

Communication is at the heart of connection. For children, the ability to express their needs, thoughts, and emotions is critical to their development and confidence. But what happens when a child struggles with speech or language? This is where speech and language therapy steps in—and at Al Najma Center, we are proud to be part of that transformative journey.

What is speech and language therapy?

 

 

 

Speech and language therapy is a specialized service designed to help individuals who face challenges with communication, speech clarity, language comprehension, or even feeding and swallowing. For children, these difficulties can affect their social skills, academic success, and emotional well-being.

Our goal at Al Najma Center is simple: to help children find their voice—literally and figuratively.

Who Can Benefit from Speech Therapy?

At Al Najma Center, our focus is on pediatric speech therapy, supporting children who face a variety of communication-related challenges. These may include:

• Speech Sound Disorder—Trouble pronouncing specific sounds.

• Language Disorders—Difficulty understanding or expressing language.

• Fluency Disorders—Issues like stuttering or hesitation.

• Social Communication Disorders—Challenges with conversation, body language, or interpreting social cues.

• Feeding and Swallowing Issues - Difficulty with chewing and swallowing during meals. Each child is unique, and so is their path to communication.

Our Therapy Approaches: A Tailored, Child-Centered Experience

At Al Najma Center, we combine expertise with compassion. Our therapists use a blend of techniques to ensure every child receives personalized care that meets their needs and suits their learning style.

Traditional Articulation Therapy

Structured, step-by-step support to help children pronounce sounds correctly using positive reinforcement.

 Play-Based Speech Therapy

Child-led, engaging activities that make therapy fun while building essential communication skills.

Hanen Program

A holistic, parent-led approach that strengthens parent-child interaction and language development through everyday routines.

PROMPT Therapy

Targets the physical movements required for speech, helping children improve speech clarity and coordination.

AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication)

For children with limited verbal skills, we provide tools and strategies—like picture boards or speech-generating devices—to help them communicate effectively.

Why Speech Therapy Matters

Speech therapy is about more than just “talking.” At Al Najma Center, we see transformations every day—children who once struggled to speak now express their needs confidently, connect with peers, and thrive at school and home.

Here’s how speech therapy can make a difference:

♦ Improved speech clarity and fluency

♦ Better understanding and use of language

♦ Enhanced social and emotional skills

♦ Improved feeding and swallowing function

♦ Boosted self-esteem and confidence

♦ Increased independence and academic success.

Specialized Programs: Early Intervention and Developmental Delays

 Early Intervention (EI)

We offer support for children from birth to age 3. Early therapy can significantly improve communication outcomes.

Signs a child may need EI include:

a) Speaking fewer than 50 words by age 2

b) Difficulty understanding simple directions

c) Struggling with social interaction or play.

 Developmental Delay in Speech and Language

Some children experience delays in reaching key speech and language milestones. Our experienced therapists create individualized therapy plans to support each child’s progress, using their strengths to overcome challenges.
