Our Speech-Language Pathologists can provide support in the following areas:
Speech
Speech is the way spoken language sounds, specifically how we articulate the individual sounds in the words we say. ​There are several different conditions that can affect speech including Apraxia of Speech and Dysarthria.
Language
Language refers to the specific words we use to communicate and how we use them. Receptive Language is what we understand and Expressive Language is what we say. Some individuals may experience language difficulties following a stroke, this is called Aphasia.
Voice
Voice describes the quality of sound produced verbally - such as pitch and loudness. A Voice Disorder is identified when an individuals' voice does not meet their daily needs, both personally and professionally. Voice therapy is commonly sought out by Teachers, Public Speakers and Singers! Voice therapy is also effective for those seeking Gender Affirming Voice Change.
Fluency
Fluency is how speech flows. Stuttering is a disruption in the continuous flow of speech that may consist of sound repetitions, word repetitions and extended pauses in speech.
Swallowing
Dysphagia is a term describing difficulty swallowing. Speech-Language Pathologists can identify Dysphagia and provide strategies and recommendations to swallow safely. Services are also available to support individuals experiencing Chronic Cough and Globus Sensation.
Cognitive Communication
Cognitive Communication is directly supported by several complex processes including attention, memory and problem solving. These skills impact our ability to engage in social settings and communicate efficiently/effectively.
