Can Speech Therapy Be Done at Home?
Yes. Speech therapy can be done at home, and it is especially valuable for patients recovering from a stroke or brain injury who cannot easily travel. Focus Family Care sends a licensed speech-language pathologist to the home to treat speech, language, and swallowing, and to coach the family.
Swallowing Therapy Protects Against Aspiration
Swallowing therapy protects patients with dysphagia from choking and aspiration pneumonia, a leading cause of hospital readmission. Focus Family Care speech therapists assess swallowing and adjust diet textures and techniques to keep eating safe.
