Voice Rehabilitation

Individualized programs for clients experiencing vocal cord dysfunction, dysphonia, or other voice disorders to restore optimal vocal function.

Dysphagia Management

Involves a comprehensive approach to assess, treat, and support individuals experiencing difficulty swallowing. The primary goal is to ensure safe and adequate nutrition and hydration while minimizing the risk of aspiration and associated complications such as pneumonia.

Swallowing Therapy may include exercises and techniques to improve muscle strength, coordination, and swallowing safety, diet modifications, postural adjustments and environmental and behavioral changes

Cognitive Communication

Focuses on improving cognitive-communication skills such as attention, memory, problem-solving, and executive functioning. This therapy is designed to help individuals regain or enhance cognitive abilities affected by brain injury, stroke, or neurological conditions, enabling better communication and daily functioning.

We Support

  • Aphasia

    Aphasia is a communication disorder affecting speech, cognitive communication, reading, and writing, often caused by stroke or brain injury.

  • Neurodegenerative Disorders

    Neurodegenerative disorders—such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and ALS—cause progressive neuron loss, impairing cognition, movement, and speech. At Island Voice Therapy, we address their impact on communication, speech, and swallowing and provide therapy to help maintain communication, speech, and ensure swallowing safety.

  • Voice Disorders

    Voice disorders impact voice clarity, pitch, volume, or quality due to vocal cord dysfunction, neurological issues, or misuse.

  • Dysphagia

    Dysphagia is a medical condition characterized by difficulty swallowing. It can occur at any age but is more common in older adults. Causes of dysphagia vary widely. Symptoms often include coughing or choking during meals, sensation of food sticking in the throat, and unexplained weight loss. Effective management requires a multidisciplinary approach, combining dietary modifications, swallowing therapy, and sometimes medical or surgical interventions. Island Voice Therapy specializes in personalized dysphagia rehabilitation, focusing on improving swallowing safety and quality of life.
