Older adults may benefit from speech therapy if they experience changes in communication, memory, voice, or swallowing. This can happen due to ageing, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, Dementia, neurological conditions, or illness. A speech therapist can help seniors communicate more comfortably, stay socially connected, and manage swallowing difficulties more safely.
Speech therapy can help people with Dementia or Alzheimer’s maintain communication skills and stay engaged in daily life for as long as possible. Therapy may include strategies for memory, conversation support, word-finding difficulties, and reducing frustration during communication.
