Speech Therapy
Speech impediments can interfere with a person’s everyday functioning, affecting their quality of life and making it difficult for them to communicate concerns with others. Keeping language skills sharp also gives people greater control over their reasoning and memory.
Memorial Home Healthcare’s Speech Therapy services help patients regain speech and communication abilities, along with helping them swallow without assistance. We understand how frustrating it can be to live with a speech disorder. That’s why our trained experts walk patients through recovery, working with a schedule that suits their specific needs.
Our speech therapy sessions are tailored to patients’ needs. Our exceptional speech therapists don’t rush the process; we customize treatment plans depending on how the patient is progressing.
Memorial Home Healthcare’s exceptionally-trained speech pathologists can help patients with a number of speech disorders, including:
- Stuttering
- Articulation disorders
- Voice disorders—these are caused by a problem with your voice box and include vocal fold paralysis, nodules on the vocal cords, or hoarseness
- Fluency disorders
- Apraxia—when your lips and tongue aren’t able to coordinate and pronounce certain words correctly. This is often caused by a stroke, dementia, or other traumatic brain injuries
- Aphasia—when the side of your brain that’s responsible for speech is damaged, you may experience this type of speech disorder
- Dysarthria—the weakening of muscles due to brain damage can cause slurred speech
The speech pathologists at Memorial Home Healthcare make treatment plans that help individuals struggling with speech impediments due to a number of causes. The initial screening and assessments help our medical providers determine a personalized treatment plan that builds effective communication skills.
These individual care sessions, under the supervision of our trained professionals, create a safe, comfortable environment. Since a clinical setting can be daunting, we can bring our speech therapy services to patients.
We aim to help everyone live a happy and wholesome life. Our speech therapists do this by providing various customized services, including:
- Screenings
- Observation and assessment
- Co-treatment with Occupational Therapy and Physical Therapy
- Educating you, your family, and caregivers about their responsibilities
