Strokes and other health conditions that affect your brain can make it difficult for you to communicate. They can also make it hard for you to have control over your mouth and throat, which affects your ability to eat and swallow.

The speech therapists at Coral Rehabilitation & Nursing of Arlington are here to help you improve your fluency, clarity, comprehension and ability to swallow. They also monitor and modify swallowing techniques and introduce diet modifications and special feeding techniques when necessary if you have decreased abilities in these areas.
