Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy at ROI Hospital is a specialized program for patients who experience difficulties in speaking, listening, reading, or writing due to brain injury, neurological damage, or degenerative disorders.
Through standardized speech and communication assessments, we precisely analyze receptive and expressive language difficulties, articulation issues, voice or resonance disorders, and fluency problems.
Based on this evaluation, we provide personalized therapy aimed at improving each patient’s overall communication abilities.
Because language difficulties affect not only expressive skills but also relationships, social participation, emotional expression, and daily communication, ROI Hospital focuses on treatment plans that support functional recovery and real-life communication integration, helping patients return to natural, confident interaction.
