The inability to talk and communicate effectively affects day-to-day tasks such as talking on the phone, conversing with family members or doctors, and even calling the emergency hotline in case of an emergency. The difficulty in swallowing also causes weight loss, aspiration, and aspiration pneumonia, which is a profoundly serious medical condition. To combat these, our speech therapists here at Dover Home Health Care assess, diagnose, treat, and prevent speech disorders that may include language, communication, and swallowing disorders.
Our speech therapy utilizes verbal and nonverbal communication systems developed by our speech therapists to allow our patients to communicate effectively. They also educate safe swallowing strategies, oral motor, and breathing exercises, which are greatly beneficial in regaining speech ability.
