Home Health Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy and Medicare Home Health Care

The professionals who are educated to assess speech and language development and to treat speech and language disorders are called speech-language pathologists (sometimes informally referred to as speech therapists). Speech-language pathologists can also help people with swallowing disorders.

Under your home health care benefit, a Medicare home health care Speech Therapist will help you to improve speech (aphasia) and correct swallowing (dysphasia) by using therapeutic techniques to enhance communication and avoid choking. They will work with you to strengthen speech skills such as word orders, forming sounds and using the right words.

Some of the illnesses that trigger speech and swallowing impairment include:

• Stroke
• Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS)
• Neuro-Muscular Disorders
• Multiple Sclerosis
• Neck Cancer
• Parkinson's Disease.
