Remote Speech Therapy

Speech therapist working with adult patient over telemedicine

Embarking on speech therapy for neurological rehab can be a journey filled with excitement and hope, but also uncertainty about what lies ahead. To ease your mind and equip you with knowledge, here’s a peek into what you can expect:

Initial Evaluation:
  • Meet your speech-language pathologist (SLP): You’ll have a chance to get acquainted with your SLP, who will discuss your medical history, diagnosis, and communication goals.
  • Assessment: Get ready for activities to assess your speech clarity, voice quality, swallowing ability, language comprehension and expression, and cognitive skills.
Therapy Sessions:
  • Personalized Treatment Plan: Your SLP will craft a unique program tailored to your specific needs and challenges.

Examples:

  • Speech Exercises: Practice articulation drills, tongue twisters, and vocalization exercises to improve speech clarity and sound production.
  • Language Therapy: Engage in activities to improve receptive and expressive language skills, like vocabulary building, sentence construction, and conversation practice.
  • Cognitive Rehabilitation: Participate in activities to enhance memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, which can indirectly improve communication abilities.
  • Swallowing Therapy: If swallowing difficulties are present, your SLP will guide you through exercises to strengthen the muscles involved in swallowing and improve safety during meals.
Communication and Support:
  • Open Communication: Feel free to voice any concerns or frustrations you have throughout the process. Your SLP is there to listen and provide support.
  • Technology and Tools: Depending on your needs, your SLP might utilize specialized software, visual aids, or augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices to enhance your therapy.
Home Practice:
  • Reinforcement is Key: You’ll likely receive exercises and strategies to practice at home to solidify your progress and maintain communication skills.

Overall, expect speech therapy for neurological rehab to be a collaborative and empowering journey. Your SLP will focus on helping you regain your voice, improve your communication abilities, and enhance your overall quality of life.
