  • KRS Therapy Services
  • Problem Solving

    • KRS Therapy Services:

    • Language Disorders - including difficulty making sense of the environment, comprehending spoken language or communicating thoughts, feelings and experiences.
    • Aphasia - a language disorder caused by stroke, drug use, brain injury or illness. A person with aphasia may be truly at a loss for words - unable to say even his or her own name
    • Voice Disorders - apparent when people speak too high or to low, or when the quality of voice is affected (such as having a hoarse, breathy or nasal voice).
    • Cognitive Communication Disorders - common in adults after head injury or stroke. These disorders make it difficult to think clearly, remember or problem solve.
    • Swallowing Disorders - known as dysphagia. This usually occurs as a result of illness, surgery, stroke or injury.
    • Stuttering - the most commonly recognized speech problem, although no one knows exactly what causes it.
    • Articulation Disorders - difficulties making sounds correctly. Like stuttering, these problems often begin in childhood and become live-long challenges. They may occur later in life as a result of stroke, injury or illness.
    KRS speech-language pathologists also help people with other challenges:
    • Augmentative and Alternative Communication - offering new possibilities for people who cannot speak. Technology offers an array of options, including voice synthesizing computers and communciation boards.
    • Communication Enhancement - improving everyday communication skills, such as pitch, projection, accent, and nonverbal communication.
