Speech Therapy treats all forms of Aphasia , Dysarthria , and communication disorders. Individual therapy sessions are combined with group exercises to improve communication skills. We place particular emphasis on incorporating the patient's personal interests (e.g., hobbies, profession) into the therapy. Transcranial direct current stimulation is routinely used as a supplementary treatment to promote the learning process.
Swallowing therapy aims to treat disorders of oral transport, oral sensation, reflex triggering, aspiration prophylaxis, and coordinated swallowing reflexes. Swallowing therapists work closely with nutritionists to develop a diet that not only meets health-related requirements but also has the optimal consistency to prevent aspiration while providing an excellent taste experience.
Swallowing therapy is accompanied by fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) to characterize the specific deficit.
