Pediatric Speech Therapy for Reading and Writing Challenges

If your child struggles with reading or writing, our No Limits Pediatric Therapy team can help! Our expert speech therapists work with children on play-based, neuro-affirming strategies that make learning fun. With your support, we can empower your child to develop the reading and writing skills they need for a lifetime of success.
Why See a Speech Therapist for Reading and Writing Challenges?
You might not immediately consider seeing a speech therapist when your child has reading or writing difficulties. But did you know these challenges are often due to your child’s speech and language development?
Speech therapists are uniquely trained to support both oral and written language skills. Challenges with speech and language can lead to difficulties with reading, spelling, writing, grammar, and much more. Our therapists at No Limits can uncover why your child is struggling and provide targeted interventions to help them master speech and language in all its forms.
Common Causes of Reading and Writing Challenges
Reading and writing involve multiple speech and language skills, so any speech or language struggle your child faces can lead to challenges with reading or writing. Some of the common causes of reading and writing challenges include, but are not limited to:
- Phonological awareness challenges: children who struggle to recognize and use sounds in spoken language can have difficulty recognizing sounds in written words.
- Dyslexia: a learning disorder that affects reading and language processing skills.
- Dysgraphia: a learning disorder that affects writing and organizing ideas on paper.
- Expressive language difficulties: trouble expressing thoughts clearly in writing.
- Receptive language difficulties: trouble with understanding written or spoken communication.
