Speech Therapy for Adults
Hello SpeechWorks provides individual Speech Therapy for adults with communication disorders. We help adults to speak clearly and fluently, communicate effectively, find their words, and succeed at work! In addition, voice therapy is offered for voice disorders and vocal fatigue. We work with adults who have aphasia, cognitive-linguistic communication disorders, dysarthria, apraxia, and dementia including Alzheimer's.
You may have difficulty communicating due to a stroke, a traumatic brain injury, or dementia. You may have a lifelong challenge such as stuttering. Or your voice may not reflect who you are. We can help! As well as helping people to talk and understand, we can help people with problems reading, writing, remembering, thinking and swallowing.
Therapy can be provided at our clinic in Winnipeg or anywhere in Manitoba using telehealth. Telehealth links our computer to yours, so that you can see and hear us and we can see and hear you. We can even share our computer screen with you so that we can look at the same pictures or materials together.
Our comfortable, home-like setting allows us to provide group therapy for people with communication disorders following a stroke or other brain injury, voice disorders or vocal fatigue and dementia including Alzheimer's.

StoryTelling Speech Therapy Group with Allison Baird
Let us help you tell your story! We have tons of fun telling our stories and hearing everyone else’s in this Speech-Language Pathology group. Speech-Language Pathologists and volunteers support everyone in this group. Therefore, people who usually have difficulty communicating due to a brain injury (including stroke) can tell their stories too!
Come have fun with us! We chat, learn and laugh together! Practice conversation skills in this relaxed group program.
Our participants love this program! Gerry, one of our participants, said “I’m improving all the time. Without this (program) I wouldn’t talk.”
We meet virtually on Zoom on alternate Thursdays from 1:00 to 2:15 PM.
