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.
