At Keka Rehab Services (KRS), our speech-language pathologists (SLPs) help patients improve communication, cognition, chewing, and swallowing skills—areas that have a profound impact on daily life. Using evidence-based strategies, KRS SLPs create individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs. They collaborate closely with physical and occupational therapists to ensure patients can apply their new skills effectively in daily routines, whether at home or in senior living communities.
How SLP Can Help
Communication
SLPs assist individuals who have difficulty speaking, understanding speech, reading, or writing. They also support those with voice disorders, such as hoarseness or vocal cord paralysis, helping patients regain effective communication.
Cognition
SLPs work with patients facing challenges with memory, attention, problem-solving, or decision-making. They also address difficulties with language comprehension and expression to improve cognitive function and daily interactions.
Chewing and Swallowing
SLPs help patients who struggle with chewing, swallowing, or managing saliva. Therapy focuses on safe swallowing techniques and strategies to maintain optimal nutrition.
