[Yeongam＝Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Seo Young-seo] Yeongam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 5th that it is operating a ‘Small Group Speech Therapy Room’ tailored to the age and level of 16 children using the speech therapy room within the Comprehensive Social Welfare Center during the vacation period, in a total of 3 sessions over 27 days starting from the 2nd.

The small group speech therapy is conducted in groups of fewer than five people in compliance with quarantine guidelines, and consists of activities that naturally engage children’s interests, such as cookie making and character bag and fan making, to help them acquire age-appropriate verbal and nonverbal social language and improve communication skills through peer relationships.

An official from the Yeongam-gun Comprehensive Social Welfare Center stated, “Small group speech therapy is a different type of treatment program from the one-on-one individual therapy we have been operating so far. Through small group therapy, we will provide children with various communication environments so that they can understand others’ communication intentions and appropriately express their own thoughts, thereby enhancing the quality of therapy to facilitate smooth social communication with peers and others.”
