Our speech therapy services
Speech-language pathologists (SLPs), often called speech therapists, are healthcare professionals who:
- Assess and diagnose: They evaluate individuals to identify speech, language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders.
- Treat disorders: They develop and implement personalized treatment plans to improve communication and swallowing skills.
- Educate and counsel: They provide guidance and support to clients and their families on how to cope with communication challenges.
Here’s a breakdown of some key areas they focus on:
- Speech Sounds: Helping individuals produce speech sounds correctly (articulation), such as correcting mispronunciations (e.g., lisps).
- Fluency: Addressing stuttering or other fluency disorders to improve the smoothness and flow of speech.
- Voice: Treating voice disorders like hoarseness, breathiness, or loss of voice.
- Language:
- Receptive Language: Helping individuals understand and process language (e.g., following directions, understanding conversations).
- Expressive Language: Assisting with the development and use of language for communication (e.g., vocabulary, grammar, sentence structure).
- Social Communication: Helping individuals improve social skills related to communication, such as turn-taking, eye contact, and understanding social cues.
- Cognitive-Communication: Addressing communication difficulties related to cognitive impairments, such as memory problems, attention deficits, and difficulty with problem-solving.
- Swallowing: Evaluating and treating swallowing disorders (dysphagia) to prevent choking and ensure safe and effective eating and drinking.
