Adult Speech Therapy for Stroke and Neurological Conditions
Regain your communication skills and confidence with personalized online therapy. Our licensed speech-language pathologists help adults rebuild language, thinking, and speech abilities after a stroke, brain injury, and other neurological conditions.
Communication Challenges from Neurological Conditions
Communication changes can look very different from one person to another. Some individuals may struggle to find words, while others experience difficulties with speech clarity, reading, or writing. These challenges may include aphasia, apraxia, or dysarthria, which affect how language is processed, planned, or produced.
Aphasia
Aphasia affects a person’s ability to use and understand language. Someone with aphasia may have trouble finding the right words, mixing up word order, or struggling with reading and writing. Aphasia does not affect intelligence, but it can make communication frustrating or isolating.
Apraxia of Speech
Apraxia is a motor planning difficulty. The brain knows the word, but the mouth struggles to coordinate the movements to say it. This can cause speech to sound different each time or to get stuck when starting a word. With consistent therapy, the brain and mouth can be retrained to work together more effectively.
Dysarthria
Dysarthria occurs when the muscles used for speech are weak or difficult to control. Speech may sound slurred, mumbled, too quiet, or monotone. Speech therapy helps improve muscle coordination, build clarity, and teach practical strategies to make everyday communication easier.
What Causes These Difficulties?
Stroke
A stroke is the leading cause of acquired speech and language disorders. Damage to areas of the brain responsible for language or motor control can result in aphasia, apraxia, or dysarthria.
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Accidents, falls, or head trauma can disrupt how the brain plans, coordinates, or produces speech. This often leads to ongoing challenges with communication, memory, or thinking skills.
Other Neurological Conditions
Brain tumors, infections, or degenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can also affect communication.
