Speech therapy, also known as Speech-Language Pathology (SLP), is a rehabilitative service designed to address communication, cognition, and swallowing disorders. It also helps maintain essential skills for communication, cognition, and swallowing, ensuring individuals can effectively perform activities of daily living.

 

The goals of speech therapy include:

​

• Communication: Assisting individuals in effectively communicating with family members, caregivers, and healthcare providers.

• Cognitive: Developing strategies and programs to help manage memory loss and disorientation, often associated with Alzheimer's disease and dementia.

• Swallowing: Improving the ability to safely swallow food and liquids, helping to prevent weight loss, choking, and the risk of pneumonia caused by food or liquids entering the lungs.
