We work with people with the following medical conditions:

• Aphasia can impact your ability to understand, come up with words, read and write
• Aphasia can be severe, where a person is not able to speak, or very mild, where there are only occasional difficulties in noisy, high stress environments.
• The goal is to help you improve your ability to communicate in daily life
• Aphasia can be due to a stroke, brain tumour or other conditions

• Cognitive skills  include memory, attention, organization, reasoning,  and problem solving 
• These functions are necessary to have lengthy or complex conversations, return to work  or return to school

• The intelligibility of your speech can change when the strength, movement or coordination of the lips, tongue, jaw and palate are altered due to illness.

• Surgery, radiation or chemotherapy used to treat cancer in the mouth, throat or neck can result in speech, swallowing or voice changes. 
• After your cancer is controlled, individualized treatment to address these changes can have a great effect on improving your quality of life.

• A change  in your  voice such as persistent hoarseness, high or low pitch, or difficulty being heard in conversation can be a sign of a voice disorder. 
• You can feel like you are running out of air, straining or fatiguing when you speak.
• Voice disorders can result from illness, certain medical conditions, stress and lifestyle.
• Misuse of the voice, breathing ineffectively or bad vocal habits such as yelling or throat clearing can be damaging to your vocal cords
