FAQ
Speech therapy questions
What does a speech therapist do at home?
A speech therapist, also called a speech-language pathologist (SLP), provides specialized therapy in your home to help with communication, swallowing, voice, and cognitive-linguistic skills. This includes exercises for speech clarity, swallowing safety, memory and attention, and strategies to help you communicate more effectively in daily life.
How is speech therapy at home different from a clinic?
In-home speech therapy allows your therapist to work with you in your actual living environment, which means therapy goals are directly tied to the activities and situations you face every day. There is no travel required, and your therapist can also train family members and caregivers on communication strategies in real time.
Does Medicare cover speech therapy at home?
How often will a speech therapist visit?
Visit frequency depends on your physician’s orders and your individual therapy plan. Some patients receive sessions two to three times per week, while others may need more or fewer visits. Your plan is personalized based on your specific needs and adjusted as you make progress.
Do I need a doctor's referral for speech therapy?
Can speech therapy help with swallowing problems?
Yes. Swallowing therapy, also known as dysphagia treatment, is one of the core services our speech-language pathologists provide. Your therapist will evaluate your swallowing function, recommend safe food and liquid textures, and guide you through exercises to strengthen the muscles involved in swallowing.
How quickly can speech therapy start?
In most cases, we can complete the initial evaluation and start therapy within 24 to 48 hours of receiving your physician’s referral. We move quickly because early intervention often leads to better outcomes.
Do you offer speech therapy in languages other than English?
Yes. Olora Home Health Care provides staff fluent in English, Spanish, Armenian, and Russian to accommodate the multicultural nature of the Los Angeles area. We match patients with therapists who speak their language whenever possible, which is especially important for effective speech and language therapy.
