Children with Epilepsy

“How Epilepsy Can Affect Children’s Speech and Language Development?

Some types of Epilepsy are associated with speech and language difficulties. Epilepsy can result in a temporary loss of function in one or more areas of the brain. If the areas of the brain responsible for understanding and communication are affected, speech and language difficulties can occur. The severity of these problems can range from mild to severe, causing a general delay or disordered pattern of language abilities. Speech Therapy at Persian Speech Clinic can help prevent more developmental delays and improve speech, language, and learning skills in clients with Epilepsy.
