Speech Therapy for Adults

We provide a full range of services for adult speech language, swallowing, fluency and vocal needs. Working closely with families and other members of the individual’s support team, we aim to introduce natural, easy ways to work on goals when the individual is not in speech sessions. We discuss what is part of your home routine and will design simple and effective ways to work toward the progress of goals when not “in speech.”

We treat adults with borderline, mild, moderate, severe and profound disorders. Examples include: 

• Cognitive linguistics: Memory, attention/focus, reasoning, planning, goal setting, time management, medication management, self awareness and self monitoring, problem solving, safety recall

• Swallowing skills

• Vocal skills

• Fluency and stuttering

• Rehabilitation of language skills (i.e. understanding and expressing ones wants, needs and novel messages)

• Reading comprehension and writing compensation

• Pronunciation

• Accent modification instruction

• Coordination and strength of breath with swallowing/speaking

• Social skills

We work with individuals who have had challenges due to stroke, Parkinson’s, multiple sclerosis, lupus, dementia, brain injury, neurological affects of addiction, PTSD, autism, social language, cognitive deficits, cerebral palsy, special needs, ADD/ADHD, stuttering, vocal disorders and those in CA recovery.

Treatment will begin with an evaluation and review of medial history. Time is dedicated to discussing insights into the nature of our client’s strengths, challenges and nature of their disorder, as well as establishing functional routines and home activities to support our client’s ability to meet their goals efficiently and carryover their skills to their everyday life.

Adult advocacy services are offerred to ensure the needs of the client are met within the vocational environment and community. For example, we help clients understand they have protection under the ADA, consult with doctors and can participate in care meetings in assisted living facilities.
