BrainTrust Speech Therapy

Speech-Language Pathologists (sometimes called speech therapists) are skilled healthcare professionals who assess, diagnose, and treat people with changes in motor speech, language, cognitive-communication, voice, fluency, and swallowing.

As a Speech-Language Pathologist specializing in neurogenic communication, I focus on supporting adults with acquired brain injury and neurodegenerative diseases.

Cognition and speech are deeply interconnected brain functions that rely on complex and interdependent neural networks. Overlapping brain regions support both functions and they are often affected simultaneously after a neurological event.

Communication relies on our brain's ability to coordinate different mental skills. Attention, memory, and executive functioning work in harmony to help us organize thoughts, remember what we want to say, choose the right words, and express our ideas effectively.

The most powerful support begins with empathy and meaningful connection.

With the client’s permission, family members are encouraged to join initial sessions, helping to create a supportive environment.

Families can also attend dedicated training sessions. These sessions demystify neurological changes and provide practical tools to support your loved one.
