AUSTIN SPEECH PATHOLOGY
Communication is Connection
Communication is how we connect to others through words, signs, sounds, and even touch. Austin Speech Pathology truly understands how changes in communication and cognitive abilities impact one's life after an illness, injury, or other neurological diagnosis.
Austin Speech Pathology specializes in providing highly skilled and individualized speech therapy services to adults, adolescents, and children. We work to help clients improve their speech, language, and cognitive skills to establish connections that make a difference in quality of life where it matters most: at home, at work, at school, and in the community.
SPEECH THERAPY SERVICES
Individualized. Creative. Fun. Functional.
LANGUAGE THERAPY
Aphasia is a language impairment resulting from stroke, brain injury, or other neurological diagnosis. Austin Speech Pathology is able to provide comprehensive assessment and treatment of aphasia; including the areas of listening, verbal expression, reading, and writing.
COGNITIVE-COMMUNICATION THERAPY
Deficits in memory, attention, organization, planning, reasoning, impulse control, and problem solving are commonly seen in neurogenic communication disorders. Austin Speech Pathology specializes in addressing these areas to improve productivity at home, success in the workplace, and academic achievement.
MOTOR SPEECH THERAPY
Illness or injury can cause changes in strength, range of motion and coordination of the muscles that control speech, voice and respiration. Austin Speech Pathology provides assessment and treatment of motor speech impairments, including dysarthria, apraxia, and voice disorders.
DYSPHAGIA THERAPY
Dysphagia is a disorder of swallowing which can result in serious health complications. Austin Speech Pathology provides assessment and treatment of swallowing disorders resulting from illness, injury, or disease.
PHILOSOPHY: CLIENT CENTERED THERAPY MAKING THERAPY FUN
Austin Speech Pathology believes in client-centered therapy. You get to chose your goals, what is meaningful to you, and together we create a treatment plan that results in positive changes for your life. No two brains are alike, thus no two treatment plans will ever be the same. We work to make therapy fun, fulfilling, with lasting results. To make this happen, Austin Speech Pathology also offers options to extend therapy into your personal environments such as your home, work-place, and community.
