Wendell Johnson Speech and Hearing Center – University of Iowa

The neurological team offers evidenced-based intervention for adolescents and adults with acquired neurogenic communication disorders. These disorders, including aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia, and cognitive-communication impairments, commonly arise from conditions like stroke, traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, or progressive neurological conditions (e.g., dementia, ALS, or primary progressive aphasia).

 

Individuals are encouraged to seek services at different stages, even long after the injury to the brain. There is ample research evidence that people who experience a brain injury can still benefit from treatment for speech-language difficulties even years following the event. Speech-language therapy addresses the underlying impairment, as well as its functional impact on communication in daily situation.
