SLPs Who Work with Adults
SLPs who focus on adults typically address issues caused by:
- Voice: This clinic focuses on singing and speaking voices of those not just for gender-affirmation, but also for professional voice users like teachers, singers, preachers, and anyone else whose voice might become injured by overuse, injury, or medical conditions
- Neurological conditions: Another focus is helping people regain their speech and language after stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or Parkinson’s disease.
- Cognitive-communication impairments: Memory, attention, or problem-solving challenges can come from acquired brain injuries. These may occur from long-COVID, concussion, stroke, or other progressive diseases such as Parkinson’s disease.
- Swallowing issues: Known as dysphagia, swallowing drinks and foods can become a challenge with age or medical conditions.
