Semoga dengan adanya bantuan pakar, sedikit sebanyak boleh membantu anda menangani masalah pertuturan tersebut.
Speech Therapy di Malaysia
Sebenarnya, speech therapy di Malaysia bukan benda baru. Ia sudah lama ada, cuma tidak ramai orang tahu tentang perkara ini. Untuk mengetahui lebih lanjut, kita boleh layari beberapa laman blog yang memaparkan kisah benar ibu-ibu di luar sana yang mengalami masalah dengan anak mereka:
- https://mamamunie.wordpress.com/2014/03/06/speech-therapy-untuk-luqman/
- http://orangkecilorangbesar27.blogspot.com/2011/11/child-psychologist-where-are-you.html
Saya pasti anda boleh rasakan kepayahan yang terpaksa dilalui mereka ini dan episod yang mereka terpaksa lalui.
Apa itu speech therapy?
Tetapi sebelum itu, apa itu speech therapy? Speech therapy adalah terapi khusus yang bertujuan untuk menangani mereka yang bermasalah dalam bertutur, seperti lambat bertutur dan mempunyai masalah untuk berkomunikasi sesama rakan sebaya dan orang di sekelilingnya. Ada yang hanya mengalami sedikit masalah dan boleh diselesaikan dengan galakan tetapi tidak kurang juga yang disahkan menghidap penyakit autisme dan perlu menjalani beberapa siri speech therapy.
Speech Delay
Pada kebiasaannya, ibubapa boleh mengesyaki sesuatu tidak kena dengan anak mereka terutamanya apabila anak mereka lambat untuk memulakan pertuturan. Ia juga dikenali sebagai speech delay. Dan jika si anak boleh bertutur, hanya sedikit sahaja perkataan yang boleh disebut. Kadang-kadang ini boleh membuatkan si anak meradang kerana tidak dapat apa yang mereka nak.
Kita ambil contoh ibu kepada Haris seperti di pautan blog di atas, bagaimana beliau disarankan oleh prinsipal di sekolah anak beliau yang bernama Haris untuk berjumpa dengan speech therapy. Ianya berpunca daripada anak beliau yang dikesan sukar untuk bergaul dan berkomunikasi dengan rakan-rakan sekelasnya.
