Speech therapy for adults

Adult speech therapy

Speech therapy is not limited to children; it also benefits adults with speech and language disorders.

Adults may require therapy due to neurological conditions, strokes, vocal cord injuries, or other acquired communication difficulties.

For adults recovering from strokes or traumatic brain injuries, speech therapy focuses on regaining speech and language abilities, as well as addressing cognitive-communication challenges and swallow difficulties also known as dysphagia.

Therapists use a combination of techniques, such as memory exercises, problem-solving tasks, and functional communication training, to help adults rebuild their communication skills and regain independence.

Speech therapy for adults also addresses voice disorders, such as vocal cord nodules or vocal strain. Therapists work on techniques to improve vocal quality, projection, and breath control, enabling individuals to use their voice effectively in professional and social contexts.
