Speech therapy services in Salamanca

Each patient and environment encompasses a unique and special part of our work. For this reason, we seek to provide the support and guidance they need in each therapy session to ensure their progress is as satisfactory as possible.

That is why all sessions are individualised; each condition has its own special characteristics, and providing the right treatment is essential for us.

How do we work?

📋
01
Initial interview
The initial consultation takes place, during which relevant information is gathered about the reason for the consultation, the patient's medical history, and their expectations for treatment.
🔍
02
Evaluation
It is necessary to know all the key points in order to prepare an intervention plan that is appropriate for the patient and their environment.
💬
03
Intervention
Treatment objectives will be determined, and the process to be followed during the intervention will be explained. If necessary, collaboration with other professionals who influence the person's environment will be proposed.
🏁
04
End of treatment
Once the objectives have been achieved, the final report will be delivered and the patient will be discharged, along with the diploma. Follow-up of the case will also be discussed, setting out and agreeing on the period deemed appropriate.

Types of therapies

After a personalised analysis of your difficulties and needs, an environment tailored to your preferences is created so that the intervention can be carried out in a smooth and relaxed manner.

Our approach consists of working collaboratively with all the people and professionals involved in the patient’s environment.

Speech therapy for children

We use play as our main intervention tool, seeking the patient’s full development.

Speech therapy for adults

We use topics of interest or related to the workplace, seeking to maximise potential in these areas of work.

Speech therapy at home

To facilitate intervention in both children and adults, adapting to their specific needs at the time. For example: elderly people with reduced mobility, stroke, acquired brain damage, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, etc.

FAQ

At Palabrea, we understand the importance of assessment and early, accurate diagnosis in order to subsequently provide personalised treatment that addresses the needs of the patient and their entire environment.

Sessions can last 30 or 45 minutes depending on the observed need and type of treatment.

After the assessment and once the objectives have been set, a frequency of 1 to 2 sessions per week will be proposed. This may vary depending on each case.

This question is frequently asked, but it is impossible to determine since each case is different and the influencing factors must be taken into account.
