Many illnesses and conditions such as MS, Parkinson's, and stroke can impact our ability to speak and swallow.

 

Speech Therapists are highly trained and skilled to work with individuals on improving their oral motor and cognitive abilities to enhance communication and swallow functions.

 

They can also train clients on the use of technology and adaptive communication devices and often work with individuals who require modified diets such as thickened liquids, pureed foods, or feeding tubes to return to regular consistency diets and an enhanced quality of life.
