Speech-language pathology
Virtual therapy for people recovering from traumatic brain injury and concussion
Our speech-language pathologists (SLPs) help with the communication, thinking, and swallowing problems that often follow a brain injury, all from home, as part of TeleCare's virtual rehabilitation program.
Speech after injury
Speech with therapy
A brain injury can change how you speak, understand, remember, and even swallow. Speech-language therapy works on all of these, using technology to bring expert care to you and improve your quality of life.
Communication skills
Clearer speech, easier understanding, and the words to say what you mean.
Speech production
SLPs help improve the clarity and intelligibility of speech, so words come out the way you intend.
Language comprehension
Therapy strengthens the ability to understand and process language, which is often affected after a TBI.
Expressive language
You learn strategies to express thoughts, needs, and feelings more clearly and with confidence.
Cognitive rehabilitation
Rebuilding the thinking skills everyday life depends on.
Memory
Techniques to improve both short-term and long-term memory, which are essential for daily life.
Attention and concentration
Strategies to stay focused and keep your attention, skills often disrupted by brain injury.
Executive function
Work on planning, organizing, problem-solving, and decision-making to support overall cognitive recovery.
Swallowing and feeding
Safer swallowing and the nutrition that recovery needs.
Dysphagia management
Many people with a TBI have difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). SLPs teach exercises and techniques that make swallowing safer and more efficient.
Nutrition and hydration
By treating swallowing problems, SLPs help you get the food and fluids your body needs to recover.
Social communication
Getting back to conversations and the people who matter.
Pragmatic skills
Practice with everyday social behaviors such as taking turns, making eye contact, and reading non-verbal cues.
Relationships
Better social communication helps you rebuild and maintain personal relationships, which matter for emotional well-being.
Voice and resonance
A stronger, steadier voice.
Voice quality
SLPs work on the quality of your voice, addressing problems such as hoarseness or a nasal-sounding voice (hypernasality) that can appear after a TBI.
Vocal strength and endurance
Exercises build vocal strength and stamina so you can speak for longer without strain or fatigue.
Your treatment plan
Therapy built around you, not a template.
Personalized care
Each therapy plan is tailored to your needs, so every session targets what will help you most.
Goal-oriented approach
Therapy focuses on specific, achievable goals that matter in your daily life and for the longer term.
