Speech therapy is not just for children; adults can also benefit from speech therapy treatments. Problems with speech, language, voice or swallowing can occur at any age and often have a significant impact on daily life. At Silderhuis Speech Therapy, we provide specialized care for adults with a variety of speech therapy challenges, aimed at improving communication and quality of life.

Who is adult speech therapy for?

Speech therapy for adults addresses a wide range of problems that may affect the ability to speak, swallow or communicate properly. For example, this may be needed for:

• Voice problems: Hoarseness, voice loss or voice fatigue can result from voice abuse or overuse, as well as medical conditions such as vocal cord paralysis.
• Swallowing disorders (dysphagia): Difficulty swallowing, often caused by neurological disorders such as stroke, MS or Parkinson’s disease.
• Speech disorders: Problems with articulation, for example due to a speech motor disorder such as dysarthria, can lead to slurred speech.
• Language disorders (aphasia): Difficulty speaking, understanding, reading or writing after a stroke or brain injury, for example.
• Communication problems: For example, due to neurological disorders, cognitive impairment, or after a traumatic brain injury.
