Speech-language therapy is the rehabilitative or corrective treatment of physical and/or cognitive deficits resulting in difficulty with communication (speech and language) and/or swallowing. We focus on assessing and treating speech, language, communication, voice, feeding and swallowing problems in people of all ages. Communication includes speech, language and non-verbal communication such as facial expression and gestures.
Depending on the nature and severity of the disorder, our treatments range from oral strengthening exercises, instructive or repetitive practice and drilling, to the use of audio-visual aids and introduction of strategies to facilitate functional communication. Our speech therapy methods also include the use of augmentative or alternate means of communication, such as sign language and the use of picture symbols.
Through our programs, we empower our patients to function to the best of their ability. We work directly with the patient, and also provide support to the patient's family and guardians, in the form of coping mechanisms, and counseling advice.
We will also work alongside the patient's teachers and or doctors, to ensure that all practices and procedures follow a professional and holistic approach. We treat a wide range of patients within our practice, and we handle each case individually to provide the best care and service to each of our clientele.
