How can speech therapy treat ALS?

Speech therapy can help you learn new ways to speak loudly and clearly. As ALS progresses, you may find it difficult to talk. Speech therapists can help you maintain your communication skills. They can also teach you ways to communicate nonverbally. Even if you still have verbal abilities, nonverbal communication can help you conserve energy.

A speech-language pathologist can also:

  • Assess your swallowing ability and teach you techniques for making adjustments.
  • Recommend the most helpful communication technologies.
  • Treat any type of speech, language and communication issue.
