Логопедот ја одредува говорната терапија, соодветно на потребите на проблематиката и индивудуалните специфики на тешкотиите кај поединецот. Најдобрата возраст зависи од поединецот и неговите специфични потреби.
For infants and small children, early intervention is generally considered the most effective way to deal with speech and language disorders, and early age is understood to be the best age for speech therapy treatment. For infants and toddlers, speech therapy can begin as early as 6 months of age if a parent or health care provider detects a speech delay or speech disorder. Early intervention can help prevent or reduce the severity of the disorder and can help children develop the skills they need to succeed in school and in social interactions.
For children of school age, speech therapy can begin as soon as a verbal communication disorder is detected, whether through screening at school or by a health care provider. Children with speech disorders may face personal "battles" in the field of education but also on a social and emotional level, and early intervention can help them overcome these difficulties.
For adults, speech therapy can be helpful at any age, but the earlier the better. Adults who have had a stroke, traumatic brain injury or other medical conditions that affect speech and language can benefit from speech therapy, if it is started as soon as possible after the injury, that is, after the diagnosis.
