Assessment and therapy for adult communication difficulties including;
aphasia (acquired language disorder e.g. post-stroke)
apraxia (acquired motor speech disorder e.g. post-stroke)
dysarthria (speech disorder caused by muscle weakness e.g. associated with Parkinson's Disease)
dysphonia (disorders of the voice) *referrals only accepted from E.N.T. consultants*
Unfortunately ACHIEVE does not offer intervention for adult fluency disorders such as stuttering / stammering. There is a link to fluency specialist Dr. Jonathon Linklater here.

Augmentative and/or alternative communication (AAC) can support communication when a person is experiencing difficulties. There are lovely resources and free communication boards for adults in hospital here and here.
