Yes - speech/articulation is largely an oral motor issue so you can retrain the muscles in your mouth so your speech is "correct"

Yes. We do it all the time.

Hello,

Yes, adults can benefit from speech therapy. Therapy addresses the needs of all individuals with communication challenges. The age of the client is not a factor.

Yes, absolutely.

Yes they can. Speech language pathology is a cradle to grave profession. We diagnose, assess, and treat clients of all ages, in school settings, medical settings, private practice, and health centers.

Absolutely!

Yes! Anyone can benefit from speech therapy at any time in their life. Because you have had many years of saying a sound or word the "wrong" way, it may take you longer to break that habit and more practice. The good news is, now that you are an adult you are able to monitor your own speech, practice diligently, and intentionally focus on "retraining" yourself.

Absolutely! Just like learning a new skill, speech therapy will take time and practice, but if you’re motivated to work on your speech sounds, adults can absolutely benefit from it.

Yes!
