Speech Therapy
What is Speech Therapy?
At LifeCare Therapy, we offer personalized speech therapy designed to meet each individual’s needs, whether in our clinic or in the comfort of their home. Our skilled Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) work with patients to enhance their communication, cognitive skills, and swallowing abilities, helping them regain confidence and independence.
Here are some common signs that may indicate the need for an SLP evaluation. If any of these concerns resonate with you or a loved one, speak with your doctor or reach out to LifeCare Therapy for guidance.
Struggling to Express Yourself Clearly?
Difficulty finding the right words, feeling scattered in conversation, or frequently saying the wrong thing can be frustrating. Our therapy sessions focus on improving word recall, speech organization, and communication clarity to make conversations easier and more effective.
Is Your Memory Not What It Used to Be?
Forgetting things occasionally is normal, but if memory struggles are becoming more noticeable—like forgetting to turn off appliances or missing important dates—it may be time to seek an evaluation. Our therapists can help determine what’s typical and what may require intervention, offering memory strategies to improve recall and cognitive function.
Having Trouble Managing Daily Tasks?
If tasks such as handling bills, taking medications on schedule, or keeping up with household chores have become overwhelming, our SLPs can introduce practical techniques to enhance organization and follow-through on daily activities.
Is Your Voice Weak or Hard to Hear?
Voice changes can happen due to stress, medical conditions, or surgery. Our team evaluates and treats voice-related concerns, helping patients strengthen their vocal quality, volume, and endurance for better communication.
Coughing or Discomfort While Eating and Drinking?
If you experience coughing during meals, difficulty swallowing pills, or unexplained weight loss, it could be a sign of swallowing muscle weakness or coordination issues. Left untreated, these challenges can lead to serious health risks like aspiration or pneumonia. Our swallowing therapy focuses on improving safety and efficiency in eating and drinking to maintain proper nutrition and hydration.
Living with a Progressive Condition?
We create customized therapy plans for individuals with conditions such as Dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Stroke, and other progressive or congenital disorders. Our therapists involve family members and caregivers in education and training to ensure long-term success and support.
