What Is A Speech Disorder And Can Therapy Really Help?
Yes – speech therapy has helped thousands of adults reclaim their ability to speak, eat, and engage in everyday life. Adult speech and communication disorders can develop for many reasons, including:
- Neurological conditions such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or multiple sclerosis
- Brain injuries or trauma
- Progressive disorders like ALS
- Muscle weakness, coordination issues, or structural changes
These challenges may lead to difficulties such as:
- Stuttering or disfluency
- Slurred or slow speech (dysarthria)
- Trouble finding the right words
- Difficulty chewing or swallowing (dysphagia)
- Trouble understanding or processing language
But don’t despair! These symptoms can often be improved with expert care. Our speech therapists create a tailored plan using evidence-based techniques to address your unique needs and goals.
How Can Speech Therapy Help Me?
Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are trained professionals who work with a wide range of conditions that affect communication, voice, language comprehension, cognition, and swallowing.
Your treatment may include:
- Targeted speech exercises to improve clarity, volume, and articulation
- Voice therapy to address pitch, tone, or vocal strain
- Swallowing and oral motor training to improve eating and drinking safety
- Cognitive-linguistic therapy to boost memory, focus, and word-recall
- Compensatory strategies to improve communication in daily life
At Park Rehab, we use a combination of neurological, physical, and behavioral therapies to address underlying issues while building practical skills that enhance your daily communication and confidence.
Do I Need Speech Therapy ?

- Noticeable changes in voice quality (hoarseness, pitch changes, weak voice)
