Neurological speech therapy
Neurological speech support for children, autistic people and AAC users, and adults after stroke, with orientation around swallowing difficulties.
We start with a diagnosis of speech, communication and oral functions. We agree goals that make progress visible, we give the family guidance for practice at home, and when it is needed we bring in a doctor or another specialist.
Scope of Neurological Speech Support
Assessment and therapy for communication, speech, and oral functions in children and adults.
Children's Neurological Speech Therapy
We work on delayed speech development, articulation difficulties, communication and oral functions in children. We observe the child, match exercises to age and ability, and coach the caregiver on practice at home between visits. Delayed speech can have different causes, so when something is unclear, for example hearing, we refer for further medical diagnostics.
Neurological Speech Assessment
Assessment covers speech, communication and oral functions before deciding whether therapy is needed and what shape it should take. The visit includes an interview with the caregiver or patient, observation and functional checks, then we discuss the result and possible next steps. Assessment does not replace medical diagnostics - when a neurological or ENT cause is suspected, we refer to the right specialist.
Autism and AAC
We support communication for autistic people, including checking whether augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) would help. We match a way of communicating - gestures, symbols, a device with voice output - to the person's abilities and teach its use in everyday situations together with the family. Choosing an AAC method is individual and does not close the door to further speech development.
Adults After Stroke
We support adults with speech and communication difficulties, such as aphasia or dysarthria, after a stroke or another neurological event. We assess current understanding and expression, match exercises to the patient, and show family how to make everyday conversation easier. Therapy runs alongside neurological treatment, not instead of it, and progress depends on health status and the doctor's recommendations.
Swallowing and Dysphagia
We talk through eating and swallowing difficulties in children and adults - choking, coughing during meals, or avoiding certain textures. We discuss symptoms, observe how the person eats, and point out what to watch for day to day. This is an initial orientation, not an instrumental exam - when a swallowing disorder is suspected, we refer for medical diagnostics such as VFSS or FEES.
