Have you ever wondered how would you feel if one day you woke up and found you could no longer talk or even eat an apple? Imagine how confusing life would be if you could no longer understand what people were saying to you. The simple human interactions that you take for granted would be lost.
Many people in our communities don’t need to ‘wonder’ what this would be like because they deal with it everyday of their lives.
But there are people that can help them. Speech and Language therapists are trained health professionals who have the knowledge and skills to navigate these challenges and support their patients’ development and rehabilitation.
Whatever the diagnosis, whether it be Parkinson’s disease, cleft palate, down syndrome, brain injury, stroke, multiple sclerosis, cancer, vocal nodules, motor neuron disease, mental illness, autism, stuttering, facial trauma, a burns injury, spinal cord injury, Pierre robin sequence, cerebral palsy etc… a Speech and Language Therapist can help make a difference.
Does Speech and Language therapy sound like it could be for you?
