6. How We Cure Articulation • NAQAWA is specifically designed to treat articulation disorders and have been clinically proven to work twice as fast as traditional therapy in resolving this type of speech problem. • We has a team of expert Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) who can provide the best treatment to your child.

7. Phonology • Phonological disorder is a type of speech sound disorder. Which creates inability to correctly form the sounds of words. • Children with phonological disorder do not use some or all of the speech sounds to form words as expected for a child their age.

8. How We Cure Phonology • NAQAWA speech therapist for phonological disorders involves practicing sounds. We will help your child how to position the tongue and move the mouth to produce the correct sound. • He will be encouraged to differentiate between words with similar sounds. Your child’s therapist will focus on helping him understand that changing a sound can change the meaning of a word.

9. Apraxia • Apraxia of speech is a neurological childhood speech sound disorder in which the precision and consistency of movements underlying speech are impaired in the absence of neuromuscular deficits • Apraxia of speech may occur as a result of known neurological impairment, in association with complex neurobehavioral disorders.

10. How We Cure Apraxia • Our Professionals known as Speech Language Pathologists (SLP) play a key role in diagnosing and treating Apraxia. • Our SLPs use different approaches to treat Apraxia, because no single approach has been proven to be the most effective.

11. Fluency/Stuttering • A fluency disorder, which is often referred to as “stuttering ”, is characterized by primary (core) and secondary behaviors. • Primary behaviors may include repetitions of sounds, syllables, or whole words; prolongations of single sounds; or blocks of airflow or voicing during speech.

12. How we Cure Fluency • We are highly individualized and based on thorough assessment of speech fluency, language factors and life impact. In creating a treatment plan and setting goals for fluency, the SLP uses linguistically and culturally appropriate stimuli and is sensitive to the unique values and preferences of each individual/family.

13. Voice • A voice disorder is any abnormality of the voice production system that results in a change in your voice that is unsatisfactory to you. • You may experience numerous symptoms, or perhaps there is only one symptom that bothers you. The symptoms may be persistent or you may experience them only intermittently. 

14. How we Cure Voice Disorder • Intervention is conducted to achieve improved voice production and coordination of respiration and laryngeal valving. • SLPs often incorporate aspects of more than one therapeutic approach in developing a treatment plan.
