​Speech and Language Therapy helps people who find it hard to communicate.
​Communication means telling other people what you want, think and feel.
It means understanding other people and information.
​Communication can be lots of different things:
​We can help you communicate by giving you new tools, objects and sometimes electronic devices.
​We do this by coming to see you and watching how you communicate.
We might ask you some questions and talk to your family and carers.
​Speech and Language Therapy helps people with their eating, drinking and swallowing.
​Dysphagia means you find it difficult to eat and drink.
If you have Dysphagia we can make changes to your diet to help you and keep you safe.
A Speech and Language Therapist can visit you in your home with your family or carers.
