Something we do on a regular basis is talk, but we don't typically think about how we are doing or how to improve it. However, the way we talk carries weight and impacts the perception people have of us or even the ability to understand what we say. At Sierra Speech, we employ evidence based practices to ensure meaningful and efficient improvement so that you can participate and enjoy life.
Speech Disorders - articulation issues can occur as a result of another diagnosis
-
Dysarthria after stroke, brain injury, and disease: this can sound like slurring, imprecise consonants, and altered vowels. Speech intelligibility can be affected
-
Apraxia of speech: altered motor programming of the message. Speech can sound jumbled and halted.
Speech Enhancement - People who speak for a living or who want to have more impact when they talk
-
Our speech can sound inarticulate, lazy, and rushed, there are many reasons for this and your provider can help figure out where to focus
-
Precision, endurance, intelligibility, and communication impact are all things that can be a focus
No matter where you are starting from, if you have a speech disorder or just want to change the way you present yourself, we can help.
