Speech & Language
Therapy
"Communication difficulties affect
all aspects of life for stroke survivors and their families,
friends and carers.
They often have devastating effects on a stroke
survivor’s independence, work and relationships." -
RCSLT
"Following my stroke I was unable to
communicate at all,
but this has improved within three weeks thanks to speech
therapy." - RCSLT
If you are experiencing speech, language, swallowing or
breathing difficulties (aphasia and dysphagia), a Speech and
Language Therapist will analyse your problems and put in place
an appropriate therapy programme for you.
