Speech Therapy

As social beings, the capability to communicate effectively is crucial to a person’s quality of life. As a person ages, the vocal cords lose elasticity, and the larynx muscles weaken, leading to difficulty speaking. Home speech therapy helps improve the lives of seniors dealing with speech impediments, which may include communication, cognitive, language, and swallowing disorders. Licensed speech therapists help seniors train their vocal abilities to communicate clearly and confidently. With the help of a licensed speech therapist, seniors can improve their ability to communicate, their memory, orientation, and swallowing abilities.
Speech therapy is essential in regaining a normal life and helps patients maintain good mental status. Besides normal aging, patients may need speech therapy due to temporary or chronic health conditions.
