adult to geriatric

Adult to geriatric speech pathology services are designed to address a wide range of communication and swallowing disorders that may arise due to aging, medical conditions, or injuries.

Some of the common conditions that adult to geriatric speech pathology services address include:

• Speech and language disorders: These may include difficulty with articulation, fluency, voice, and language comprehension or expression.

• Swallowing disorders: Also known as dysphagia, these disorders can range from mild to severe and can include difficulty swallowing liquids, solids, or both.

• Cognitive communication disorders: These disorders can occur as a result of a traumatic brain injury, stroke, or degenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease. They may include difficulty with attention, memory, problem-solving, and reasoning.

• Voice disorders: These can include hoarseness, loss of voice, or changes in pitch or loudness.

These services may include a variety of interventions such as exercises and drills to improve speech and language skills, strategies to improve swallowing, and training in alternative communication methods.
