When we think of speech therapy, we usually think of a child with a lisp or a stutter. But therapists at Expressable address a long list of issues, including accents, aphasia, apraxia, autism and delayed speech, as well as what comes under a general category of voice disorders that includes pitch, resonance or volume that are inappropriate for their age, gender or cultural background.
