Speech- language therapy 

Speech and language disorders can affect adults of any age. Speech disorders impact a person’s ability to produce speech sounds, articulate words, and be understood. Language disorders impact a person’s ability to think of words, or comprehend what is being said by others. These disorders can be acquired from an injury or illness, such as a stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurodegenerative disease. In other cases, disorders may be developmental and present since birth. Speech therapy can be beneficial for management of disorders such as: 

• Aphasia

• Dysarthria

• Apraxia of speech

• Stuttering and fluency disorders
