Adults can have speech or language problems which began in childhood, or which started after an illness or injury.
Adult speech, language, and cognitive therapy, along with myofunctional therapy, provided by a speech-language pathologist (SLP), focuses on evaluating and treating adult communication and oral-motor function. Treatment may address speech clarity, language skills, cognitive-communication abilities, and oral-facial muscle patterns that support effective speaking, breathing, and swallowing.
Speech Therapy
Speech therapy helps adults improve speech clarity and sound production, enabling them to communicate more easily and confidently in everyday conversations.
Language Therapy
Language therapy supports adults who have difficulty understanding or expressing ideas. Treatment focuses on word retrieval, sentence organization, and clear communication.
Cognitive-Communication Therapy
Cognitive therapy strengthens thinking skills that support communication, including attention, memory, processing, and problem-solving for daily life and work.
Myofunctional Therapy
Myofunctional therapy retrains the muscles of the tongue, lips, and face to improve tongue posture, breathing patterns, swallowing, and speech support.
