Speech therapy is the treatment of speech and communication disorders. The approach used depends on the disorder. It may include physical exercises to strengthen the muscles used in speech (oral-motor work), speech drills to improve clarity, or sound production practice to improve articulation.
Our speech-language pathologists help people with certain health problems, such as a stroke, to re-train the muscles in the mouth and throat so they can speak and eat properly.
Following a stroke or other injury, he or she will work one-on-one with you or your loved one to regain functional communication in a variety of ways—speaking, listening, writing, reading, gesturing, etc. Establishing successful communication can dramatically improve recovery.
Other activities provided by the speech-language pathologist to improve daily interaction include swallowing therapy, methods for communicating with the hearing impaired and cognitive retraining.
