This is especially valuable if you are recovering from a stroke, brain injury or orthopedic surgery. Speech therapy can help you improve your ability to produce and understand language — including speaking, listening, reading, writing, organizing and solving problems. Speech therapy is especially helpful if your abilities are impaired due to a stroke, head injury or other type of neurological disease.
