Precision Speech Therapy

Premiere speech therapy clinic
in Forney, Texas

Welcome to Precision Speech Therapy in Forney, Texas.

Our speech-language pathologists provide the full range of services for all matters related to communication, language and its use, cognitive concerns, and swallowing issues.
  • What is speech therapy?

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) use speech therapy to address a wide range of issues surrounding speech, communication, cognition, and swallowing.

In their therapy clinics, speech therapy professionals work to prevent, assess, diagnose, and treat language, speech, social communication, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders in adults and children.

Customized Specialist Speech Therapy Services

Our speech-language pathologists customize treatment plans to address the following types of disorders in our speech development centers.

  • How long are speech therapy services needed?

In our first meeting together, your speech pathologist will conduct a speech therapy evaluation. In that assessment, we will review the patient’s existing case history, if any, and determine the severity of the communication disorder, cognitive-communication disorder, swallow disorder, voice disorder, or other type of language skill issue that may require speech therapy intervention.

We will also provide assessment on language hearing in our hearing clinic, as oftentimes speech pathology and audiology go together.
After we provide these assessments in our speech therapy clinic, we will determine an appropriate intervention to best help the patient. At that time, we will be better able to predict the speech therapy services necessary to overcome the presenting issue.
In general, length of needed therapy help varies considerably whether we’re helping child or adult. In the therapy program at Precision Speech Therapy, adults attend therapy sessions in our speech therapy center for about 6-12 weeks while child speech intervention usually requires about 6 months to a year.

The best speech pathologists know that a therapy program needs flexibility in duration of offered services, as people’s needs can change over time. As speech-language pathology professionals, we will provide the service as long as necessary for the patient to overcome the target barrier.
  • With whom do speech therapy professionals work?

At Precision Speech Therapy in Forney, Texas, we work with people of all ages and with all kinds of underlying causes for their speech therapy needs.

Children

Our youngest patients are the tiniest humans of all. Sometimes the little ones have trouble learning to eat. They may have difficulty latching, gaining weight, or drinking from the bottle.

They may have feeding aversions, difficulty transitioning to solids, or general failure to thrive. A lot of these wee ones started life on the outside in an incubator, the truest kind of gift from above, and they’re not eating so great. When they become toddlers around the age of 2, we see them for language development. There’s a set of developmental milestones for 2-year-olds, so we see the kids that aren’t hitting them in time. School-aged kids present with errors in articulation and pronunciation. This translates to phonological impairments, which means difficulty reading, spelling, and general language development. They may also need help with phonology of English’s more difficult letters. We help teens with communication skills, and provide support when academic performance appears to have causes in cognitive functioning.

Adults

We work with adults with neurological impairments resulting from traumatic brain injury, stroke, or a progressive neurological disease such as Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s. We address cognitive issues as well as linguistic ones in these therapy sessions.

We also work with people with swallowing issues. Perhaps they’re choking more than before or spilling more food, or perhaps they’re on a feeding tube and undergoing chemo-radiation therapy for laryngeal cancer. Whatever the underlying cause, we love to work with people to get their nutrition into their bodies.
