Comparative Effects of Play Based Therapy and Functional Communication Training in Speech-language Delayed Children

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to compare the play based therapy and functional communication training in speech-language delayed children 2-6 years old. This study will highlight the most effective intervention or therapy for Speech & Language Delayed Children. The Randomized clinical trial study will be conducted in clinic, sehat medical complex, with children who will have the diagnosis of speech and language delay. These individual will be diagnose by a speech therapist (more than 2 years experience in the field) with PORTAGE guide to early education . A group of children will be given play based therapy and the other group of children will be given functional communication training. Participants' assessments of SLD will be made using the Portage Guide to Early Education. It will take three months of sessions 5 days in a week, lasting 20 to 30 minutes. The Progress of both therapies will be seen and assessed through structured questionnaire that which technique is more effective. The individual will be assess through Speech Questionnaire on base line and after 3 months session program.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Speech is the verbal production of language, whereas language is the conceptual processing of communication. Language includes receptive language (understanding) and expressive language (the ability to convey information, feelings, thoughts, and ideas). Language is commonly thought of in its spoken form, but may also include a visual form, such as American Sign Language. Speech and language delay in children is associated with increased difficulty with reading, writing, attention, and socialization. In children not meeting the expected milestones for speech and language, a comprehensive developmental evaluation is essential, because atypical language development can be a secondary characteristic of other physical and developmental problems that may first manifest as language problems.
