Speech therapy

• treats receptive language disorders (understanding and processing what others say)
• improves communication and social interaction
• treats phonological disorders and dysarthria (articulation disorders)
• helps the development of non-verbal communication through the use of gestures, alternative speech programs and devices
• retrain the swallowing mechanism

Collaboration with patients includes obtaining a detailed medical record
either through themselves or their caregiver
communication and swallowing skills, mainly
in neurological cases.

Once the diagnosis is complete, the speech therapist evaluates
whether therapeutic intervention is necessary and sets the rehabilitation treatment goals.
Both the evaluation and the therapeutic intervention are performed in collaboration
with the chief rehabilitation doctors.
