Speech and Language Therapy for Aphasia
Other things we do at Speakability also help your language and confidence. These include:
Socialising
Activities to help improve clarity of speech and word finding
Lots of opportunities to practise
Giving advice to carers
Our speech and language therapist can assess your symptoms and work with you to improve your speaking, reading and writing.
They can help you to find different ways to communicate.
Treatment depends on your symptoms but can include:
matching words to pictures
categorising or sorting words
repeating words or rhyming tasks
practising ways of communicating without words, for example, drawing, body language, hand movements and facial expressions
using technology – for example, setting your phone to be voice-activated or taking pictures of things you struggle to name
recommending speech and language therapy apps or computer programs to help you practise.
