Swallowing Therapy Services
An acquired communication disorder or aphasia is caused by damage to the parts of the brain responsible for speech and language. This damage often results in communication and cognition (thought) challenges. Aphasia can result from many neurological conditions including: traumatic brain injury, stroke, Parkinson's Disease and Multiple Sclerosis (MS) .
Swallowing difficulties can be the result of developmental or acquired disorders that affect the functioning of the mouth or throat. Our swallowing therapy services focus on:
Tracking the type and amount of food consumed
Providing swallowing exercises to address specific concerns
Providing strategies to improve swallowing efficiency
Making recommendations on food textures that are easier and safer to swallow
