What Is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy focuses on helping guests learn or relearn important communication skills. It also often involves helping guests learn to swallow correctly. Speech therapy treatments will vary depending on a guest’s needs. Many treatments work on overcoming both physical and mental barriers to speech and swallowing.
How Can Speech Therapy Help?
The ability to communicate is an important part of a happy normal life. When communicating is difficult, it may be hard for recovering individuals to connect with loved ones, express their thoughts, and ask for assistance when needed. This can be frustrating, discouraging, and depressing for guests.
Speech therapy builds confidence, and helps protect guest’s mental health while giving them important tools for succeeding in day-to-day life. This therapy is especially important for individuals who need it in order to swallow correctly because it significantly improves their quality of life and eliminates safety concerns.
