Speech and Language
Communication is vital for connecting with others and exchanging information. Speech therapy can help rebuild your speech and language abilities so you can chat with a group of friends, read a good book, follow the plot of a movie, or send a text or email.
Speech involves the motor movements that enable us to produce sounds and say words.
​
Language is the process of using, organizing and connecting words to communicate your thoughts and ideas. Reading, writing, talking, and listening can all be impacted as a result of a stroke, brain injury, or other neurologic condition.
