Speech Therapy in Tulare County
Many stroke patients, or those who have suffered a severe accident, require
the help of a speech therapist. Kaweah Delta Home Health speech therapists
are fully licensed and experienced in helping a wide range of patients
with all degrees of speech reception and expression issues.
The sudden loss of such basic cognitive abilities can be extremely frustrating
to a patient, and the road back is often a long and difficult one. At
Kaweah Delta Home Health, our speech therapists have a unique understanding
of what our patients are going through. Our speech therapists are not
only highly trained, they are patient and compassionate as well. By using
specific speech exercises and memory training, our goal is to help our
patients communicate with their loved ones once again.
Our patients’ families and caregivers participation in the speech
therapy process is crucial to a positive outcome. That’s why our
speech therapists work closely with them in order to optimize the effectiveness
of the therapy so exercises and training can be continued within the home
between therapy sessions.
