Speech Therapy

Speech therapy addresses communication, cognitive, and swallowing disorders to help individuals regain or improve their ability to speak, understand, and eat safely. In-home speech therapy allows patients to receive personalized, one-on-one care in a comfortable and familiar setting.

Who Needs Speech Therapy?

Speech therapy is beneficial for both children and adults experiencing speech, language, or swallowing difficulties due to medical conditions or developmental delays. It is often recommended for patients with:

  • Stroke or neurological conditions

  • Parkinson’s disease

  • Traumatic brain injury

  • Developmental speech or language delays

  • Cognitive or memory impairments

  • Swallowing disorders (dysphagia)
