Communication and swallowing disorders in adults may be developmental (that is, the person was born with the life-long condition such as Down's syndrome) or may be acquired (for example, has difficulty communicating due to a neurological event such as traumatic brain injury or following a stroke).

At Let's Talk we also provide assessment and therapy for adults with communication and/or swallowing difficulties. Home visits are available upon request.
