Speech therapy can improve functional communication among seniors who have suffered a stroke or who have other health issues that can affect speech, such as dementia, problems with swallowing, or oral health problems. Our speech program focuses on language comprehension, speech, and nutrition/hydration for oral health in relation to speech.
How Speech Therapy at Valir PACE Can Help
If you or someone you love is having difficulty with their speech, reach out for an assessment with our skilled Oklahoma City, OK or Shawnee speech therapists. They can easily identify if there are any problems and then provide the right therapies to improve them. There may be difficulties with neurological processing and possibly muscle function in the tongue and throat.
Just like muscles of the body need strengthening and coordination, so do the muscles of the tongue and throat to make proper speech. Our speech therapists work on neurological exercises and speech exercises to help with a wide array of speech/language difficulties. Our speech therapists work to improve understanding, pronunciation, and forming of speech to help you become more social and communicate effectively.
