Brain injuries can affect anyone, in all walks of life. Acquired brain injuries are any brain injuries caused since birth. They can commonly happen as a result of falls, motor accidents, tumors or strokes. At SpeechAim we work with patients suffering from a range of brain injuries and we provide expert care and therapy.

At SpeechAim we have designed a number of speech therapy sessions, specially tailored to improve your child's exact symptoms. We understand that every child will show their own unique symptoms, with no two children being the exact same. As a result, all of our therapy sessions will work one on one with your child to make the best development possible. After an initial consultation session, we will be able to create a program specially designed to counter the symptoms that your child is showing, as well as provide you with a range of tips and tricks that you can use at home to further increase development.
Regardless of age, overtime, learning strategies that are developed from speech therapy for cluttering disorders can be helpful. It is also helpful to keep motivated. Often, success is associated with working hard for change. Therapy can take a lot of practice depending on the person and SpeechAim will be right by your side throughout.
The brain is essential for communication. Some parts of the brain help you interpret what others are saying or writing. Other parts of the brain are responsible for constructing your own thoughts into speech and other forms of communication such as facial expressions, body language. An acquired injury to the brain can make communication difficult.
The rehabilitation process after a brain injury tends to be unpredictable. This is because each injury is unique and requires individual treatment. At SpeechAim we provide expect therapists to design your recovery process around you. By analysing your personal injuries, we can design a rehabilitation programme designed to give you the best possible chance of recovery.
Unlike cells in other parts of the body brain cells cannot regenerate themselves.
Recovery is still possible as the nature of the brain is very flexible, capable or reorganising itself into new paths, regaining some function.
The Speechaim rehabilitation process helps your brain develop alternate ways of functioning while minimising the risk of future damage.
One/two months: difficult to assess rehabilitation time, but will require months or years of care.
6 months: There will be a clearer idea of the injury, but this is too early a stage for treatment in most cases as further damage could be caused.
1 year: Decisions can be made for the future of recovery; physical recovery may be quite quick, but the psychological issues cause much longer-term damage.
SpeechAim provides numerous forms of therapy, but it is important to be realistic about what can be achieved. We are dedicated to providing you with the best possible treatment, improving the life of the patient and their loved ones.
Physiotherapy: Physiotherapy begins with the movement of the body. This aims to improve the comfort of the patient while increasing their sense of wellbeing and independence.
Speech and language therapy: This therapy aims to help patients communicate successfully after a brain injury has been acquired. Our therapists are available one-on-one to provide the best possible care and help reduce difficulties communicating.
