Speech therapy 101: What is speech therapy, and what do speech therapists treat?

Speech therapy helps people of all ages improve their communication abilities, from a speech delay, to a lisp, to re-learning how to speak after a stroke. This video covers the various conditions that can be treated with speech therapy. We also explain the qualifications of a licensed speech-language pathologist. The goal of speech therapy is to enable people to express their needs and share their thoughts, ideas, and opinions with the world.

At Expressable, our mission is to make life-changing speech therapy accessible to everyone, combining 1:1 speech therapy with caregiver education and support.

This video is very informative. My brother had stroke 4 months ago and I'm trying to find as much information as I can to help his caregivers to understand his condition and be equipped with some knowledge for his speech and swallowing problems.
