    Access to the department<\/h5>\n

    The Melittaklinik outpatient clinic where the sessions take place is quiet and calm. Specific tools useful for treatment and appropriate devices are available. Access is from the main lobby.

    Conduct of sessions<\/h5>\n

    Every speech therapy pathway begins with a detailed functional assessment in which language tests and trials are combined with examination of the orofacial musculature and verification of any presence of dysphagia. The subsequent treatment plan is developed taking into account the patient\u2019s age and residual abilities to restore the ability to communicate effectively and eat safely.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” equal_height=”yes” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”8%” bottom_padding_phone=”10%” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#F1F1F1″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”20px” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” content_layout=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

    Working methodology<\/h5>\n

    The goals established at the outset are always concrete and agreed upon with the patient or family. Techniques used during sessions include exercises of various types: oromotor, conversational, articulatory, and respiratory. Activities continue at home with materials provided for practice and tasks to be carried out independently.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column column_padding=”padding-5-percent” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#F1F1F1″ background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”20px” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” content_layout=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n

    Involvement of family and caregivers<\/h5>\n

    The role of those who provide care at home, regardless of the patient\u2019s age, is crucial to the success of a treatment pathway for communication disorders. From teaching communication strategies to activities for language stimulation, the speech therapist supports and advises caregivers to continue daily exercises at home.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” bottom_padding=”5%” constrain_group_3=”yes” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” row_position_desktop=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” flex_layout_tablet=”row” flex_justify_content_tablet=”space-between” flex_align_items_tablet=”flex-end” flex_gap_desktop=”10px” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” sticky_content=”true” sticky_content_functionality=”js” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” content_layout=”flexbox” flex_layout_desktop=”column” flex_justify_content_desktop=”flex-start” flex_align_items_desktop=”flex-start” flex_align_items_phone=”flex-start” flex_wrap_desktop=”nowrap” flex_reverse_desktop=”false” gradient_type=”default” flex_layout_phone=”column” flex_justify_content_phone=”flex-start”][split_line_heading line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” font_style=”h3″ content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Frequently asked questions” text_direction=”default”][\/split_line_heading][\/vc_column][vc_column top_padding_desktop=”10px” constrain_group_100=”yes” bottom_padding_desktop=”10px” left_padding_desktop=”10px” constrain_group_101=”yes” right_padding_desktop=”10px” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color=”#E8F3EF” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”15px” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”2\/3″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”advanced” content_layout=”default” gradient_type=”default”][toggles style=”animated_circle” animated_circle_position=”right” animated_circle_size=”40″ animated_circle_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” animated_circle_gap=”10″ accordion=”true” accordion_starting_functionality=”default” border_radius=”15px”][toggle color=”Default” heading_tag=”h4″ heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Is a doctor\u2019s referral needed for speech therapy under the NHS agreement?”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]Yes.
