With individualized services such as full speech therapy sessions, we are able to successfully enrich the lives of the elderly and disabled citizens of Ventura County.
What is Speech Therapy?
Adult speech therapy is one of the essential forms of therapy for those with physical and developmental conditions that relate to speaking and swallowing. A variety of medical conditions may require speech therapy sessions. These include strokes, Parkinson ’s disease, and multiple sclerosis. Brain injuries and facial injuries caused by accidents may also require speech therapy. Finally, mental challenges that impair speaking abilities are qualified for speech therapy.
Speech therapy is often used for treating speech impairments for children, but many aging adults with developmental problems benefit from the therapy. In time, patients will see a significant increase in quality of life as their ability to communicate with friends and family increases. Speech therapy is critical for maintaining positive social connections and psychological health in elderly patients with speech disabilities.
How do Speech Therapy Sessions Work?
Oxnard Family Circle has a qualified and trained staff of speech therapists who are equipped with the latest techniques, knowledge and resources to perform speech therapy in Ventura County. Our therapists are friendly and dedicated to offering effective speech therapy sessions to help Ventura County citizens improve their speaking and swallowing abilities.
Once a therapist examines the condition of the individual through various tests, he or she will perform a specific type of speech therapy tailored to the individual’s needs and abilities. Some sessions involve group therapy while others are personal. Therapists will direct exercises to improve muscular structure related to speaking. Certain assignments focused on comprehension and pronunciation will also be given.
Having the ability to communicate effectively is a struggle for many people with disabilities. Speech Therapy sessions at Oxnard Family Circle adult day healthcare are designed to improve communication and to help build confidence through training. The primary goal of Oxnard Family Circle is to enhance the lives of the elderly, people with disabilities and Veterans. Speech therapy is one of the more specialized and effective services we offer to achieve our goals.
