I'm an adult seeking speech and language therapy support - I.T.S has experience of delivering high quality speech and language therapy support to adults in an acute setting, in their home, or in our clinic.

Despite the speech and language therapy support being heavily focussed on children and families, we recognise that many adults are seeking support from a speech and language therapist too.

  4. Difficulties producing speech due to muscular control DYSARTHRIA
  5. Difficulties planning the movements for speech DYSPRAXIA
  6. Difficulties with language (reading, writing, speaking & understanding) APHASIA / DYSPHASIA
  7. Difficulties with social interaction due to cognitive impairments COGNITIVE COMMUNICATION IMPAIRMENT
  8. Difficulties with swallowing DYSPHAGIA

We are often contacted by adults and their families/carers due to an adult experiencing;

  • An acquired Disorder - Stroke and Head Injury

  • A head injury or acute accident - affecting communication
  • Residule speech sound difficulties affecting confidence and public speaking

I.T.S provided an excellant service to my husband and I, following his Stroke last year. They provided excellant support strategies, first class direct therapy work and were always able to support our emotional, learning and functional needs; in understanding the after effects of a Stroke.

I.T.S supported me to develop my confidence and communication skills, relating to my dysfluent speech. I wouldn't be the person I am today, without their support.
