Adult Therapy

Are you, a family member or someone you care for experiencing difficulty getting your message across? 

 

Have you experienced a medical event or received a diagnosis which is impacting on your talking, understanding, reading, writing, eating or drinking?

 

Is your quality of life impacted by communication or swallowing difficulties? 

​

SpeechPLUS offers assessment and therapy for adults who:

​

  • Can not make themselves understood by others

​​

  • Have difficulty listening to and following instructions

​​

  • Are experiencing changes in behavior as a result of not being able to understand or explain things

​​

  • Are having difficulty eating and drinking without coughing, choking and/or discomfort

​​

  • Have experienced communication or swallowing difficulties as a result of stroke, head injury, dementia, Parkinson’s Disease or a range of other medical events and diagnoses.  

 

A tailored assessment is conducted and a plan of action is developed.  This plan may involve:

​

  • Therapy sessions directly with a therapist

​​

  • A program to conduct at home, with supervision from the therapist

​​

  • A group session including other adults who are focusing on the same skills

​​

  • Education to those around you or your loved one (family, respite staff, residential care facility) about the best way to support their communication and/or swallowing needs.
