What Is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy is a restorative program that improves speech and language comprehension.
Speech therapy might be beneficial to you after a stroke, head injury, or diagnoses such as Parkinson’s disease or ALS.
Why Might I Need Speech Therapy?
You may benefit from speech therapy if you experience
- Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
- Dysphonia (abnormal voice)
- Dysarthria (abnormal speech production)
- Aphasia (language impairments such as difficulty thinking of the correct word)
- Cognitive-communication impairments such as understanding and processing information
What to Expect with Speech Therapy
After evaluation, your individual treatment plan might include
- Strategies to support your communication: Your therapist will equip you with the skills and equipment needed to support your daily communication and/or swallowing.
- Exercises to improve speech function: Through various facial exercises, your speech therapist will help you regain speech function.
- Education: To aid in your recovery, your speech therapist will educate you and your support system on how to best assist you during your time in therapy and beyond.
