Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy is a branch of speech-language pathology focused on the diagnosis and treatment of speech disorders in adults. The main goals of speech therapy are to improve verbal expression, optimize communication skills, and enhance the quality of life for those affected.

• Diagnosis and therapy of speech disorders in adults
• Support for oral language skills and articulation
• Prevention of further impairments through targeted interventions
• Assistance in overcoming communicative challenges in professional and private life
• Encouragement of self-confidence and social integration

In speech therapy, we treat a variety of speech disorders that can affect adults, including dysarthria, aphasic language, stuttering, dysphonia, and neurogenic swallowing disorders.

• Dysarthria: Changes in pronunciation due to muscle weakness or coordination problems
• Language disorders in aphasia: Difficulties with finding words and forming sentences following a stroke or brain injury
• Stuttering: Interruptions in the flow or repetitions of sounds, syllables, or words
• Dysphonia: Voice disorders characterized by hoarseness, loss of voice, or strain during speaking
• Neurogenic swallowing disorders: Difficulties with chewing or swallowing due to nervous system diseases

Support from relatives and independent exercises at home are fundamental for the improvement of speech disorders in adults. With targeted measures, those affected can train their speaking ability and facilitate communication in everyday life.

• Close dialogue and coordination with your speech therapist
• Implementation of specific speech exercises into daily routines
• Focused training of breathing and articulation techniques to improve speech quality
• Patient practice and pronunciation training to enhance intelligibility
• Encouragement and self-reinforcement to achieve active progress in the course of therapy
