Who Is Speech Therapy for?

Speech therapy for adults targets people with speech disorders, language disorders, and various medical conditions.

Does your loved one have voice disorders, dysarthria, aphasia or apraxia? Have you noticed they have begun stuttering recently?
Are they diagnosed with dementia? Are they recovering from laryngeal or oral cancer?
Perhaps they had a stroke and their speech ability deteriorated?

If the answer to any of this question is ‘yes’, your older adult may benefit from speech therapy exercises.
