Understanding Speech & Language Therapy
Supporting communication, understanding and participation.
Speech and Language Therapy supports people who experience difficulties with communication, speech, language or swallowing. These difficulties can affect how someone expresses themselves, understands others, interacts socially or manages everyday activities.
At Meziem, we take time to understand the individual behind the communication difficulty. We consider how their needs affect everyday life and work towards practical goals that are meaningful to them.
Support may involve assessment, therapy, communication strategies and guidance for the individual and, where appropriate, the people supporting them.

Speech & Language Therapy FAQs
Questions you may have.
What happens during a Speech & Language Therapy assessment?
An assessment usually begins with a discussion about the
person's communication or swallowing concerns and relevant
history. Appropriate assessment activities may then be
used to better understand their individual needs.
Can Speech & Language Therapy help after a stroke?
Speech and Language Therapy can play an important role in
supporting some people following a stroke, particularly
where communication, speech, language or swallowing have
been affected. An individual assessment helps determine
the appropriate support.
Can adults receive Speech & Language Therapy?
Yes. Speech and Language Therapy can support adults
experiencing communication, speech, language or swallowing
difficulties depending on their individual needs.
How long will therapy take?
The length and frequency of therapy can vary depending
on the person's needs, goals, progress and the nature
of the difficulty being addressed.
Can family members or carers be involved?
Where appropriate and with the individual's consent,
family members or carers may be involved in supporting
communication strategies and the wider therapy process.
