Adult Services
We help individuals enhance their communication, speech, and swallowing abilities affected by conditions such as stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s, or voice disorders.
Our therapists provide personalized strategies to improve clarity, confidence, and overall communication for daily life and work. Through targeted exercises and expert guidance, speech therapy empowers adults to regain independence and express themselves with ease.
Acquired Brain Injury
A traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when the brain sustains damage due to sudden trauma.
- Direct Impact blow to the head (e.g., hockey cross-check, fall)
- Sudden Deceleration (e.g., rapid stop car accident)
- Rapid Spinning Motion (e.g., high-speed car accident)
Speech Sound Disorders
Our customized therapy approach emphasizes practical strategies that help adults improve speech clarity by refining the motor skills needed for accurate sound production.
Dysfluency
Dysfluency in adults refers to interruptions in normal speech patterns, such as repetitions, hesitations, or prolonged sounds, which can affect communication.
- Stuttering
- Cluttering
Stroke – Aphasia & Dysarthria
Aphasia impairs language skills, making it difficult to understand or express words, while dysarthria affects the muscles needed for speech, resulting in unclear or distorted sounds. Although both disorders impact communication, they differ in their causes and require different treatment approaches.
Swallowing
Speech-language therapy can be highly effective in addressing swallowing difficulties by focusing on improving the safety and efficiency of the swallowing process.
Voice Therapy
Voice therapy is an evidence-based service provided by a Speech-Language Pathologist that focuses on improving vocal function, efficiency, and comfort. It can be used for vocal rehabilitation, prevention of further strain or injury, reducing tension, or to support individuals in developing a voice that aligns with their identity, including gender affirming voice care.
AAC Services
Augmentative & Alternative Communication (AAC) is any form of communication other than speech, that may be used to assist, add on to (augment), or be used as an alternative to speech to ensure communication success. AAC tools can also be used to support clarifying messages, repairing communication breakdowns, and act as clearer auditory and written models of intended speech to support expansion of speech and literacy skills.
