The Process for Undergoing Speech Therapy
Before any speech therapy treatment can be administered, each patient must undergo an initial assessment. They will then participate in a few more assessments that will allow the therapist to evaluate how well they can express their general feelings, as well as how well they can answer more direct, thought-provoking questions.
Our team is passionate about delivering personalized care, so the specifics of the actual treatment program will vary based on the needs of each patient. Those who have experienced memory loss, for instance, will be given tasks associated with identifying the meanings of words. People who have trouble formulating words are given exercises that focus on repetition and naming pictures and objects.
Patients with weakened facial muscles are given muscle-strengthening exercises. They will also learn how to improve the way they position certain parts of the mouth when speaking. This includes the jaw, lips, and tongue.
