Support for how you speak, think, connect and participate.

Tell us what you need help with →Adult speech therapy can begin from very different places.
Some adults come to speech therapy because communication has changed after a medical or neurological event. Others are working toward a personal, professional or communication goal. Both are valid starting points.
Communication used to feel different.
A stroke, brain injury, neurological condition or swallowing change can affect how a person communicates, processes information or participates in daily life. Adult speech-language therapy can help identify what has changed and what support may be appropriate.
Communication works — but you want more from it.
Adults also seek speech therapy for long-standing challenges or personal goals involving fluency, voice, speech clarity, accent, workplace communication, self-expression and executive functioning.
The right adult speech therapy plan depends on the person, the concern and the goals — not simply the name of a diagnosis.
What can an adult speech-language pathologist help with?
Adult speech therapy goes far beyond pronunciation. A speech-language pathologist can assess and support communication, cognition, voice, fluency and swallowing needs that affect work, relationships, independence and everyday participation.

How adult speech therapy works.

Complete the appropriate assessment.
The speech-language pathologist focuses the assessment on the relevant communication or swallowing areas.
Understand the findings.
You should leave with a clearer understanding of what was identified and why it matters.
Build an individualized plan.

Apply it to everyday life.
Therapy is most useful when strategies carry into work, relationships, home and daily communication.
