WORDSWELL SERVICES FOR ADULTS

Speech and language therapy training covers communication and swallowing needs associated with genetic and medical conditions, trauma, developmental delays, mental health problems and learning needs in both children and adults.

Janet, Angela, Marianne, Lauren and Emily work with adults who have speech, voice, fluency, language, social skills and literacy needs.

We are registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, have enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service checks and are all members of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists. Janet is also a member of the Expert Witness Institute and the Royal Society of Medicine.

Janet, Emily, Angela, Marianne and Lauren see adults for regular speech and language therapy sessions at our clinic base in Little Downham, in their homes or hospitals within a 50mile radius of Ely in Cambridgeshire. We also have clinics in Bury St.Edmunds and Cambridge.

We have clients with acquired motor speech needs as a result of Huntington's Disease, Motor Neurone Disease, Parkinson's Disease or stroke and we currently provide the speech and language therapy service to Priory Grange Hospital, St Neots. Other clients may have acquired speech and language needs such as aphasia due to traumatic brain injury or stroke.

Adult clients may also have speech, language and communication needs because they are deaf or have cerebral palsy. Some have a dysfluency (stammer). Some have dysphagia (problems swallowing).

Wordswell also work with clients requiring voice feminisation, helping them to clarify what kind of feminine voice they aspire to. Wordswell therapists have completed training in Neuro-Linguistic Programming techniques and can help clients to generalise their voice skills into everyday voice.
