After a brief break we return to the characteristics of the different disorders that may affect the speech, language, voice or communication of the child during early childhood; that is, between zero and six years. Today we will talk about the assessment of dysglossias, within the special dedicated to these speech disorders.
The first thing to consider when assessing a dysglossia (as well as any alteration of language, speech, voice ...) is that it should never be considered in isolation. In the dysglossia, the relationship between the causes that can cause it and the professionals who can treat it (otolaryngologist, maxillofacial ...) is evident.
We must know that not always a malformation on the palate, a wound in the tongue or a bad dental closure are sufficient cause to generate a dysglossia.
In short, the anatomy and physiology of the different organs will be analyzed:
- lips
- jaws
- language
- palate
- mouth
All this will always be accompanied by a medical diagnosis and the contributions that can be given by the School Center Orientation Team to which our child attends. This way you can carry out a treatment and a prognosis of dysglossia suitable.
