Difficulties with verbal communication and swallowing can significantly impact daily life, making speech & swallowing therapy an essential aspect of rehabilitation. Speech-language pathologists employ evidence-based techniques, including articulation exercises, voice therapy, and alternative communication methods, to enhance speech clarity. For individuals with dysphagia, targeted interventions such as muscle strengthening, dietary modifications, and neuromuscular electrical stimulation help restore safe swallowing function. Advanced diagnostic tools, including videofluoroscopy and fiberoptic endoscopic evaluations, assist in tailoring therapy plans. By addressing speech and swallowing disorders early, individuals can improve their communication abilities and overall quality of life.
