I’ve had a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Can my speech come back?

Absolutely! With the help of a skilled Speech-Language Pathologist with experience in brain injury, you can achieve your maximum potential using the principles of neuroplasticity.

I’m having issues with my chewing and swallowing. Can that be improved?

Oftentimes, yes! Your Speech-Language Pathologist will work closely with you and your family to help you navigate the challenges associated with dysphagia (difficulty swallowing), learn ways to prevent aspiration pneumonia, and unlock your best quality of life while living with dysphagia.

I am having trouble with my memory and thinking skills. Can a speech therapist help with this?

Definitely! The brain is a highly complex organ that sometimes doesn’t function the way we want it to! Whether you have a form of dementia, stroke, brain injury, Parkinson’s or other diagnosis, your Speech-Language Pathologist will evaluate and treat the cognitive issues you find yourself struggling with.

What about voice impairments; can a speech therapist help with that, too?

Of course! You can learn the best evidence-based ways to improve your vocal quality, volume and overall communication, and your Speech-Language Pathologist may also make appropriate referrals when clinically indicated.
