Support for You and Your Loved Ones
When it comes to adult care, support decisions are often made by:
-
The person experiencing changes
-
A spouse or partner
-
An adult child
-
Or families working together
Wherever you are starting, you do not have to navigate this alone.
How Therapy Supports Adults
Speech & Everyday Communication
Adults rely on clear communication for relationships, work, and daily life.
Therapy may support:
-
Clearer speech and pronunciation
-
Organizing thoughts when speaking
-
Speaking with confidence in conversations or presentations
-
Reducing fatigue or strain during communication
Some adults seek therapy for lifelong speech patterns; others for changes following illness or injury.
Cognitive & Daily Functioning
Cognitive communication skills help adults manage daily responsibilities and stay engaged.
Therapy may support:
-
Memory strategies for everyday tasks
-
Organizing information and problem-solving
-
Following conversations and instructions
-
Reading and understanding written information
-
Planning, sequencing, and completing tasks
These skills are often affected after stroke, concussion, neurological conditions, or with age-related changes.
Swallowing & Oral Function
Swallowing challenges (dysphagia) and changes in oral function can affect safety, nutrition, breathing, and enjoyment of meals. Some adults experience difficulty coordinating the muscles of the mouth and throat, changes in breathing patterns, or habits that make swallowing or speaking more effortful.
Therapy may help with:
-
Safe swallowing strategies
-
Oral muscle strength and coordination
-
Tongue movement and posture
-
Breathing patterns that support swallowing and speech
-
Identifying food and drink textures that reduce risk
-
Positioning and pacing during meals
This support may include swallowing therapy and myofunctional therapy, often working together to improve comfort, safety, and quality of life
