Profile

Help with Speech provides Speech & Language therapy for adults with speech, language, communication and swallowing difficulties as a result of acquired neurological conditions. We treat people who have had a stroke (CVA) or Transient Ischaemic Attack (TIA) or those with progressive conditions such as Parkinson's disease (PD), Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Huntington's disease (HD), Motor Neurone Disease (MND) and dementia/Alzheimer's disease.

Do you, or someone you know, have any of the following difficulties?

Affects the production or comprehension of speech & ability to read and write.
Normally caused by stroke (CVA or TIA) but can also be caused by other brain injuries.

* Dysarthria - Impairment of speech
Slurred speech - reduced clarity/intelligibility
Changes in pitch, rate and or volume of speech

* Dyspraxia - Impairment of speech
Affects the ability to plan and coordinate the muscle movements needed to form speech sounds and words
