What Is It?
Adult speech and language therapy, also known as speech therapy for adults, is a specialized form of therapy designed to help individuals with communication, speech, eating and swallowing difficulties caused by various medical conditions or injuries, such as stroke, brain injury, Parkinson's disease, or dementia. Adult speech and language therapy involves a range of techniques and exercises aimed at improving speech production, language comprehension, and overall communication skills. In addition, it consists of feeding/swallowing therapy to reduce the risk of choking and respiratory complications. Activities may include things such as word retrieval exercises, cognitive-linguistic tasks, articulation drills, and voice therapy. We will find the safest diet consistency to minimize the risk of respiratory infections coupled with proven therapy techniques to strengthen your oral muscle coordination and control.
