We work with adults of all ages who might have problems with:
- Speaking clearly (dysarthria or dyspraxia)
- Understanding speech or written words (aphasia)
- Expressing themselves through speech or writing (aphasia)
- Eating/drinking and swallowing (dysphagia)
- Fluency (stammering)
- Voice
These can arise as a result of:
- Stroke/head injury
- Head and neck cancer
- Neurological conditions (e.g. Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s)
- Autistic spectrum disorders
- Learning disability
- Cerebral palsy
- Mental health problems
We work closely with the local Chest, Heart and Stroke Scotland Volunteer Stroke Services.
