Speech Therapy
Speech therapy evaluates and remediates any speech, language, cognitive and swallowing difficulties (dysphagia).
Speech therapy is often prescribed following a stroke or for someone with progressive neurological conditions such as dementia. This therapy can also treat breathing problems associated with lung diseases. A speech language pathologist will develop a plan of care aimed at increasing the individual’s ability to communicate and help deal with any issues related to swallowing deficits, including tube feed weaning. Speech therapists may utilize specific exercises to strengthen the mouth and throat muscles, as well as cognitive exercise focused on memory restoration and problem-solving abilities.
