To help rebuild skills or regain confidence with communication, adults may seek speech therapy after a stroke, when diagnosed with a neurodegenerative disease, as well as to improve articulation and fluency.

Articulation Disorders and Speech Clarity
Articulation therapy focuses on specific exercises that allow you to speak more clearly and be better understood. During the initial evaluation, your speech-language pathologist will determine which specific sound would benefit from improvement and target production of these sounds.
Parkinson’s Disease
Speech-language pathologists can help people with Parkinson’s Disease maintain as many communication skills as possible. We can also teach techniques that conserve energy, including non-verbal communication skills.
Stuttering and Fluency
Stuttering involves a disruption in the fluency of speech and is characterized by involuntary, audible or silent repetitions or prolongations when producing short elements of speech, such as sounds, syllables, and words. Individuals who stutter are more likely to be self-aware about their disfluencies and communication.
Aphasia and Stroke Rehabilitation
Aphasia is an acquired, neurological language disorder that can affect the way you understand and express verbal or written language. Adults can develop aphasia following brain damage, such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Cerebrovascular Accident (CVA), brain tumors, or other neurological diseases.
Executive Function Coaching
Executive functioning is a set of mental skills that are used ever day to actively engage in daily life skills. Executive functioning is responsible for the ability to sustain attention, organize and plan, initiate and complete, problem solve, and regulate emotions. Our speech-language pathologists utilize a holistic approach to address working memory, flexible thinking, organization, time management, and understanding the perspectives of others.
Voice Disorders
Voice problems can result from a variety of medical causes, including vocal cord lesions or muscle tension. After consulting with your otolaryngologist/ENT about your specific symptoms and medical history, you will then receive a comprehensive assessment that examines your breathing, voicing, and speech habits.
Professional Communication Speaking
Business development and growth depends largely on your professional image. Language and communication skills are powerful ways in which we display ourselves and affect how others perceive us. Your ability to use language and express yourself concisely can make a difference in your professional development.
