Speech therapy for adults
We provide assistance and support for adults with difficulties in understanding, producing sound or swallowing. You can only access speech therapy services by making an appointment.
Speech therapy for adults is intended for those who have difficulties with speaking, speech comprehension, speech production or swallowing. These difficulties may be caused by an illness, disability or injury.
The aim of speech therapy for adults is to improve everyday communication, functional capacity and autonomy.
You can book an appointment for speech therapy yourself or through a referral from a social welfare and health care professional, primarily without a referral from a physician. You can book a speech therapy appointment by directly contacting us.
After a speech therapeutic assessment, we offer you and your loved ones guidance and advice, assessment of communication aids and guidance in their use, and organise rehabilitation. If necessary, your rehabilitation will be supported through multiprofessional cooperation. Adult speech therapy is carried out as individual or group appointments.
If speech therapy alone is not sufficient for your rehabilitation alone or you need a medical assessment, we can refer you to an appointment with a physician at your health centre. If necessary, we will require a referral from a health centre physician so that your need for rehabilitation can be assessed.
When the rehabilitation responsibility lies with another party, such as the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (KELA), the rehabilitation provided by KELA may not be supplemented by primary health care rehabilitation.
The service is mainly subject to a fee for people over the age of 18.
You will find the prices of the service on the site for client fees. Please note that from 1.1.2024, we will charge a fee of €56.70 for unused and uncancelled service. The visit must be cancelled by 12.00 on the previous working day.
