Help for Adults

Are you looking for a clinic that specializes in improving the communication for adults, but are hesitant to begin? We can provide therapy services that meet your unique needs. The first step is to arrange a free consultation with us to determine your specific communication difficulties and a plan to address them.  

Adults who contact us are generally concerned with improving communication skills in the work environment.  Concerns include stuttering, mispronouncing speech sounds, accent reduction, voice quality, and language usage.  Sometimes clients aren't sure exactly what they want and are looking for professional guidance as to how to improve verbal performance. We listen to and evaluate your speech and language skills to determine areas that may need strengthening.  You can improve your delivery of speech by changing multiple dynamics, such as rate of speech, pausing, posture, or honing the use of formal language needed in the business environment.

Do your friends tell you that your English is very good, yet when you are at work, your colleagues can't always understand you? Do you get tired of repeating yourself to less familiar listeners? Consider coming to TalkKing to learn what is causing you difficulty.  Examine the way that you pronounce certain English sounds and improve their production.  Practice stressing the correct syllable in a word and sentence. We will check to see if there are certain expressions that you are translating directly from your language to English that just don't work.  Also, there are "fixed expressions" in English and if you learn these, you will be easier to understand.  You may also have your own questions and words/grammar that you want to practice. The session will be tailored to your unique needs and concerns. Contact us to see if we can help.  

Typically, individuals who have suffered an injury to the brain receive services from a speech pathologist in the hospital setting where they are being treated for a debilitating condition.  People suffering from strokes or brain injuries from accidents and other issues have rehabilitative services as inpatients , then arrangements are made for outpatient services, usually in the same hospital. If you would like outpatient service in a different setting, contact us to see if we can help. 

As we age, there is a normal decline in our memory and cognitive skills.  It is normal to notice that our memory skills are not as sharp as they used to be, but sometimes it may be more than that.  Are you worried? Be assured that there are many medical reasons that may affect your memory and language skills and address these concerns with your physician.  Please contact TalkKing if you have concerns or questions in this area and we will help you find the guidance that you need.
