Speech-Language Therapy
Speech-Language Therapy is a clinical service aimed at helping individuals improve their communication skills and address challenges related to speech, language, voice, and swallowing. It involves working with licensed professionals, known as speech-language pathologists (SLPs), who assess and treat conditions like stuttering, speech sound disorders, language delays, and difficulties following strokes or brain injuries. Therapy may include exercises, games, and practical strategies tailored to each person’s needs. The goal is to enhance the ability to communicate effectively and, where necessary, to improve eating and drinking safety.
