Speech Therapy
In the late stages of our lives, most of us believe that we won’t have to work on our speech. But in many cases, that’s just the case. If you or your elderly loved one suffered from dementia or stroke speech therapy can be crucial. Speech is essential for seniors who need to communicate with their family but most importantly their caregiver. Also, socialization is important for the elderly and thus it’s imperative that they can rely on their speech.
We at 1ST Aid Home Healthcare can provide your loved ones with a speech therapist who will work with the elderly on speech impairments but also on basic things such as how to swallow properly. If you notice that your loved one has issues speaking and in any way communicating be sure to consider speech therapy.
Evaluate Their Condition
Before administering speech therapy to your senior you need to evaluate their health situation. To have your speech impaired is a normal process because your vocal cords become less elastic through years. Other reasons include depression, dehydration, medication use, or injuries. Our care agency 1ST Aid Home Healthcare from Tulsa, OK has an expert in the field available for all interested patients. If you notice speech issues with your loved one be sure to ask for our help.
Vocal Exercises
As we said vocal cords become less elastic with years. Because of this senior’s voice will change as they age. As a consequence of this, their voice will mutate and they will no longer speak as they used to. This can make seniors frustrated and even depressed. Speech therapy can help with this as they will learn how to speak again by means of vocal exercises.
