Luna Vista’s Speech Therapy Services

Speech therapists assist and provide corrective treatment with problems involving speech, language, and swallowing. These communication problems can be present at birth or develop after an injury or illness; such as after incurring a stroke.

Speech Therapy Evaluation

Our assessment includes gathering relevant medical and developmental history, identifying communication and language issues, evaluating vocal production, fluency, and articulation skills, as well as providing feedback on any speech-language delays or abnormalities.

Patient / Caregiver Education

Our speech therapists at Luna Vista can provide training and education as to what kind of exercises would be helpful to improve speech.

Laryngeal Speech Skills

We use a variety of techniques to support the development and maintenance of appropriate articulation, volume, and aerodynamic control.

Articulation Therapy

Articulation therapy focuses on improving the individual’s vocal clarity and accuracy of speech. This type of therapy can help individuals to enunciate better, increase their ability to express themselves clearly, and improve their overall communication skills

Improve Fluency and Pronunciation

Our speech therapists are invaluable when it comes to helping people gain and improve their fluency. Through a combination of assessments, treatments, and exercises, they can help reduce stuttering, mispronunciations, and other forms of disfluency.

Vocal Exercises

We employ a range of vocal exercises to help people gain and improve their fluency. These exercises are carefully tailored to the individual, using the results of assessments and treatments to identify areas of difficulty and hone in on what needs improvement.

Benefits

Compassionate Speech Therapy For All Ages

Luna Vista Home Healthcare’s in-home speech therapy also provides a more relaxed atmosphere than what could be experienced in a clinic setting. It allows patients to take breaks as needed since they don’t have to worry about other people hearing them make mistakes or having difficulty speaking.

This type of setting is often less intimidating for those who are struggling with speech issues and can provide an increased sense of safety and comfort which can lead to greater engagement in therapy activities and improved outcomes in terms of progress towards goals.
