What Is Speech Therapy for Adults?
Are your loved ones having speech or language problems? Perhaps they have swallowing issues?
There are numerous reasons why people have these issues. Some problems start early in childhood, while others can develop as a result of an illness or injury.
Speech therapy includes exercises that help in overcoming difficulties with speech, language, and even with swallowing and cognitive-communication. It begins with assessing each individual to determine the source of the issue and the approach for solving it. Exercises may involve different activities and tactics, depending on how severe the problem is.
