Online and In-Person Speech Therapy for Adults with Fluency Disorders

Fluency disorders are often described as disruptions in the flow, speed, and ease of speech production.  They encompass both stuttering and cluttering disorders.  Stuttering involves various types of disfluencies like repeating sounds, syllables, or short words, as well as prolonged consonant sounds and speech blocks.  A cluttering disorder is marked by a fast and/or irregular speech rate, atypical pauses, syllable collapsing, and limited awareness of communication difficulties.  For further information on how we can assist you in addressing these challenges, please contact me.

​

Online and In-Person Speech Therapy for Adults with Language Disorders

Some adults may have experienced diagnosed or undiagnosed language disorders since childhood, commonly known as Developmental Language Disabilities.  A receptive language disorder occurs when an adult struggles to understand spoken language or written text.  An expressive language disorder occurs when an adult finds it challenging to verbally communicate their thoughts and feelings.  When an adult exhibits symptoms of both receptive and expressive language disorders, they are identified as having a mixed language disorder.

 

Language disorders can significantly impact adults in social interactions, the workplace, relationships, and education.To learn more about language disorders or how we can assist you in overcoming the challenges caused by your language disorder, please contact me for a free consultation.

Online and In-Person Speech Therapy for Adults with Executive Function Challenges

Executive function is a set of cognitive skills that enable adults to set goals, make plans, and accomplish those goals.  These skills play an important role in academic achievement, social interaction, and workplace success.  When an adult has difficulty with executive function, they may struggle with organizing, planning, self-monitoring, and initiating, and/or completing tasks. To learn more about how we can help you overcome these challenges, please contact me.

Online and In-Person Speech Therapy for Adults with Articulation Disorders

Adults with articulation disorders often develop these issues in childhood.  They continue to present with the disorder because it went undiagnosed, left untreated, or because previous treatment was ineffective. An articulation disorder refers to unclear or incorrectly pronounced sounds or groups of sounds.

Aphasia is a language disorder that impacts a person's ability to communicate.  It typically results from damage to the brain, often caused by stroke, traumatic brain injury, or other neurological condition.  Aphasia can impact an individual's ability to speak, understand, speak, read, or write.  The severity of their symptoms depends largely on the location and extent of brain damage.  To learn how we can assist you with aphasia, please contact me.
