Cognitive-linguistic therapy — This therapy focuses on problem-solving, short-term recall and abstract reasoning complications.
Dysphagia therapy — Used to treat swallowing difficulties, this may involve electrical stimulation, combined with traditional treatments.
Speech-language therapy — This often targets articulation, word retrieval and comprehension issues.
Voice therapy — You may need this type of therapy when experiencing vocal fold paralysis or weakness.
