Our UK based Clinical Specialist Speech Therapists in Neurology hold senior positions within the NHS and have dedicated their career to Specialising in Neurology and Neurotrauma. We are Clinical Specialists in Aphasia, Dysarthria and Cognitive Communication difficulties.

Our UK based Speech Therapists are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), The Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists (RCSLT) and The Association of Speech and Language Therapists in Independent Practice (ASLTIP).

They are certified clinicians in treatment for Dysarthria - Lee Silverman Voice Technique (LSVT loud ®) and Speak out! ®

Online Aphasia and Dysarthria therapy is shown to be as effective as face to face therapy. For Online Aphasia Therapy, people need to be able to understand short sentences to be able to participate in therapy.

We encourage family to attend sessions to support their understanding of how to support their family member in conversation and to give them confidence in using these skills.  We often use apps so that people are able to have the intensity they may require, while reducing costs. We are able to access these apps remotely so we can review how people are progressing and set bespoke therapy programmes.

Does Speech Therapy for Aphasia work?

The treatment for Aphasia is with Speech and Language Therapy. Evidence shows that Speech Therapy is effective for people with Aphasia following a stroke, compared to no therapy. 

Does Speech Therapy for Dysarthria work?

The Treatment for Dysarthria is Speech and Language Therapy, using a variety of approaches including LSVT LOUD and Speak Out!.

LSVT LOUD ® stands for Lee Silverman Voice Technique. It is a technique that improves loudness for people with Parkinson’s Disease. Studies have shown it can also be used in a variety of neurological conditions to improve speech. Research has also shown improvements in swallowing and articulation.

Speak Out! is another treatment approach used for Dysarthria and has been shown to be as effective as LSVT LOUD. 

Can I have Speech Therapy for Aphasia or Dysarthria in my own home? 

Yes. We use Zoom so that you can have Speech Therapy after a Stroke in the comfort of your own home.  We treat people internationally when they do not have access to a Speech Therapist in their own language. We are unable to treat people in America or Canada.

Are Aphasia and Dysarthria treated on the NHS?

Yes. In the UK, a Speech Therapist is often part of the rehabilitation team within the hospital and community. When someone leaves hospital, rehabilitation does not usually stop – there are teams that enable people to be rehabilitated in their own homes. We often treat people when there is no Speech Therapist available through the NHS, when waiting lists are long or when people live overseas. We are a Private Speech and Language Therapy service which means you pay for therapy.
