This is performed by speech-language pathologists thatare often referred to as speech therapists. By fixing certain disorders, the individuals are more likely to be more active in their communities and have greater social lives. In most cases, speech therapy is needed for people who have speech disorders that develop in childhood or speech impairments in adults caused by an injury or a mental illness such as brain damage or damage to vocal cords. The amount of time the person needs to get speech therapy also depends on a few core factors. These factors include the participants\u2019 age, the severity of their speech impairment and the treatment needed for their medical
