Mental Retardation
dromoLogio - Speech Therapy for Children & Adults | Karditsa

 

At DromoLogio, our modern speech therapy center in Karditsa, we provide specialized services for children and adults with intellectual disabilities, aiming to improve their communication, daily functioning and quality of life.

What is Intellectual Disability?
Intellectual disability is a developmental condition characterized by significant limitations in mental function (such as memory, logical thinking, problem solving) and practical skills of daily life (such as communication, self-care, social interaction). It usually appears before the age of 18 and can have various causes (genetic syndromes, birth complications, injuries or infections).

 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   
     
     
     
 

The Role of Speech Therapy
Speech therapy is an important support axis for individuals with intellectual disabilities. Depending on the level of functioning and the individual needs of each individual, our therapeutic goals include:

  • Enhancement of expressive and perceptual communication
  • Development of basic vocabulary and understanding of concepts
  • Learning alternative modes of communication (e.g. PECS)
  • Development of social skills and smooth interaction with the environment
  • Support in daily functioning (e.g. understanding instructions, using language in practice)

Our approach at dromoLogio
At dromoLogio we implement individualized therapeutic programs, based on the capabilities and specificities of each individual. We work closely with the family, teachers and other health professionals to ensure a coherent and supportive intervention in all of the individual's environments.

Our goal is for the person with intellectual disability to gain as much autonomy as possible, to strengthen their self-confidence and to actively participate in social life.
