Speech therapists conduct assessments and therapy in the areas of communication and swallowing disorders. We also strive to make appropriate recommendations and suggest suitable therapy based on the assessment findings.

We provide assessment and interventions for the following:

Acquired cognitive communication impairment

Cognitive communication disorders refer to difficulties with carrying out communication tasks (e.g. reading, writing, speaking, and listening) due to problems with one’s ability to think (i.e. cognition). These disorders can arise from strokes (especially those affecting the right side of the brain), brain tumors, traumatic brain injuries, brain infections and other neurological conditions, such as dementia.

Assessment includes identifying which aspect of cognition (e.g. attention, perception, memory, organization, reasoning and problem solving) is affecting communication. Subsequently, relevant therapy techniques are recommended. Some types of cognitive communication disorders such as those arising from strokes and traumatic brain injuries may be more suitable for therapy.

Acquired language disorder

There are two components of aphasia; Difficulties understanding and difficulties expressing. These two components can occur individually, but are commonly present in combination.
