Speech Disorders Clinic

The Speech Disorders Clinic at Attica Rehabilitation & Recovery Center offers specialized diagnostic and therapeutic services for patients with speech and communication disorders.

Who is it intended for

It caters to both inpatient and outpatient adult patients with speech and communication disorders, such as:

  • Aphasia, i.e., disorders in the production and/or comprehension of speech, usually following a Stroke.
  • Dysarthria, which refers to difficulties in speech articulation due to muscular weakness or neurological damage.
  • Neurogenic communication disorders, such as those resulting from traumatic brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease), Multiple Sclerosis, etc.
  • Swallowing disorders(Dysphagia), which often accompany the aforementioned conditions.

Our Team:

The Speech Disorders Clinic at Attica Rehabilitation Center is staffed by experienced healthcare professionals, such as Neurologists, Physicians of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, Speech Therapists, and Clinical Neuropsychologists, who work closely together to provide holistic care and personalized rehabilitation programs.

Assessment:

To accurately diagnose speech disorders, we use internationally recognized assessment tools, such as:

  • Western Aphasia Battery – Revised (WAB-R)
  • Boston Diagnostic Aphasia Examination (BDAE)

Therapeutic Approaches:

In addition to classic rehabilitation methods, we apply modern techniques such as Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), which aims to enhance neuroplasticity and accelerate the recovery of linguistic functions.

TMS therapy involves the use of a device that releases brief electromagnetic pulses to targeted areas of the brain, which, depending on the condition, may be underactive or overactive. The pulses from TMS help stimulate neurons in these specific areas, ultimately leading to improvements in the patient’s condition over time by altering their activity levels.

The goal of the Speech Disorders Clinic is to provide significant support so that each patient can regain the maximum possible communication ability and quality of life.
