Can aphasia after a stroke improve with Speech Therapy?
The treatment for Aphasia is with Speech and Language Therapy. Evidence shows that Speech Therapy is effective for people with Aphasia following a stroke, compared to no therapy.
Can Dysarthria after a stroke improve with Speech Therapy?
Dysarthria after stroke refers to slurred or unclear speech caused by muscle weakness. Treatment with speech and language therapy can help improve speech clarity, articulation, and communication.
Common therapy approaches include:
LSVT LOUD® (Lee Silverman Voice Technique): Originally developed for Parkinson’s Disease, this technique improves speech loudness and clarity. Research shows it can also benefit people with dysarthria from various neurological conditions and may improve swallowing and articulation.
Speak Out!®: An evidence-based alternative to LSVT LOUD, Speak Out! has demonstrated similar effectiveness in improving speech in people with dysarthria.
What happens in Speech Therapy after stroke?
After a stroke, patients may experience:
Dysarthria– slurred or unclear speech due to muscle weakness.
Aphasia/Dysphasia – difficulties with speaking, understanding, reading, or writing.
Our process includes:
A comprehensive assessment to identify specific communication difficulties.
Patient-centred therapy goals that are meaningful, achievable, and motivating.
A structured programme of evidence-based speech therapy exercises to improve communication.
Our ultimate goal is to reduce frustration, restore confidence, and improve communication skills in daily life.
Can family members join the sessions to help me practice?
Yes. We actively encourage family participation in therapy sessions. Involving loved ones helps:
Build confidence in supporting communication.
Reinforce therapy strategies outside of sessions.
Create a supportive environment for recovery.
We also integrate speech therapy apps and home practice programmes. These allow patients to receive more intensive therapy at reduced cost, while therapists can remotely track progress and adjust personalised therapy plans.
Can I have Speech Therapy for Aphasia or Dysarthria in my own home?
Absolutely. We offer online speech therapy via Zoom, enabling you to receive speech therapy after a stroke in the comfort of your own home. Our service is international, supporting patients who cannot access a local therapist in their language. (Note: We are unable to provide therapy to residents in the USA or Canada.)
Are Aphasia and Dysarthria Treated on the NHS?
Yes. In the UK, speech therapists are often part of the stroke rehabilitation team in hospitals and the community. Home-based rehabilitation is also available.
We provide private speech therapy for people after stroke who:
Cannot access NHS therapy due to location or long waiting lists
Want faster access to therapy
Live overseas
Is online speech therapy as effective as face-to-face therapy?
Yes - online speech therapy for stroke rehabilitation is just as effective as traditional in-person therapy. Studies show that online therapy for aphasia and dysarthria can deliver the same measurable improvements in speech, language, and communication skills.
Online therapy is especially convenient for people with mobility challenges, those living far from a clinic, or anyone who prefers the comfort of their own home.
Do you have a waiting list?
No – our private speech therapy service allows fast access to treatment without delays.
What are the costs for private speech therapy after stroke?
Assessment session: £125
Therapy session: £60–£90 per session (depending on duration of the session)
The number and frequency of sessions are agreed upon during the initial assessment, tailored to your needs and recovery goals.
