Helping optimise communication and swallowing, whatever the condition
SLT can help with many conditions. These include:
- Dysphasia
- Stammering
- Cluttering
- Dysphonia
- Dysphagia
- Dysarthria
Differing conditions offer up different problems. Generally Speech and Language Therapists (SLTs) may work with people in the areas of:
- Articulation
- Fluency
- Voice production
- Spoken language
- Written language
- Understanding of speech
- Understanding of writing
- Non-verbal communication
- Swallowing disorders affecting the mouth and throat
- Confidence.
As these factors all inter-relate, a holistic approach usually works best.
