It is essential to understand who man is and how he can live in harmony with others. The relationship between the individual and society must be seen in reciprocity. Without society, the individual cannot survive or evolve as a human being, and society can only exist through individuals.
Society shapes people as they continually influence society. The individual, as a transient phenomenon, is an element in a continuous social chain and is permanently influenced by the group to which he or she belongs.
Our happiness often depends on our interactions with others and on the cooperative skills that we develop since childhood with the help of our parents, educators, specialists and our environment. Successful people are those who have learned the art of cooperation and who face life with an optimistic attitude born of courage and self-confidence. Communication with the family, with children in the playground or kindergarten, social integration can be affected by the language disorders that occur in some children.
As the child grows, their active vocabulary needs to be developed through age-appropriate games, the aim of which is to develop correct pronunciation of words. Family influences play an important role in the early years. The family is responsible for a child's language development until he or she is integrated into kindergarten or school.
Language as a tool for communication
Language is an essential tool for communicating and expressing thoughts and feelings, and its development in the pre-school period is essential for a good start in a child's social and intellectual life. During this period, language develops rapidly, both because of the child's social environment and because of the psychological and neurophysiological mechanisms underlying its formation.
Language disorders can arise from a variety of causes and can involve difficulties understanding the meaning of speech, problems with verbal expression and articulation, fluency problems or problems understanding written messages. Parents who notice such problems in their child should seek an assessment with a speech therapist to determine the causes and start therapy as soon as possible. In-office speech therapy is the most desirable method, but in specific situations such as pandemics or long distances, online speech therapy may be an advantageous solution.
The importance of specialized intervention
It is important to give increased importance to appropriate intervention and involvement of parents and specialists so that the child can overcome any crisis situation and realize his potential. The success of the child's intellectual and psychological development is the most important aspect that should concern us, so speech therapy can be an essential solution in this regard.
It is obvious that in-office speech therapy is the most desirable therapy. In a pandemic context, when we have long distances to cover, when we rely on parental support, when the recipient of speech therapy is quasi-independent in the use of technological resources, online speech therapy can be an advantageous solution.
