What is speech therapy?
Speech Therapy is a specialised field of healthcare dedicated to the prevention, assessment, diagnosis, treatment and scientific study of human communication disorders and associated functions. This field encompasses not only difficulties related to speech and language, but also other functions essential to communication and quality of life.
The disorders that can be treated by a speech therapist include speech disorders (such as difficulties in articulating sounds), language disorders (such as delays in language development or difficulties with comprehension and expression), as well as issues related to hearing, vision, breathing and cognition. In addition, therapy also addresses oromotor issues, swallowing, voice (such as hoarseness or changes in vocal timbre) and fluency (such as stammering).
The main aim of Speech Therapy is to promote the functionality and independence of the individual, whether a child, adult or elderly person, by helping them to overcome challenges that may impact their communication and social interaction. With a personalised approach based on scientific evidence, therapists work to restore confidence and improve their patients’ quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions about Speech Therapy
What happens in speech therapy?
Speech and Language Therapy assesses, diagnoses and treats difficulties with communication, language, articulation, voice, fluency, swallowing and orofacial functions. The aim is to improve the ability to express and understand language, helping people of all ages to communicate more effectively.
When should speech therapy begin?
Therapy should be started as soon as difficulties with communication, articulation or swallowing are identified, regardless of age. In the case of children, early intervention is essential to prevent any impact on language development. In adults, therapy should begin as soon as changes in speech, voice or chewing are detected, particularly following a stroke or other neurological conditions.
When does a child need speech therapy?
A child may need speech therapy if they show signs of delayed language development, difficulty articulating words, persistent stammering, problems with reading and writing, or changes in their voice. If there are difficulties with verbal communication or social interaction, an assessment by a speech therapist is recommended.
How much does a speech therapy session cost?
The cost of a speech therapy session can vary depending on the location, the therapist’s experience, and whether the service is provided at home or at a clinic. For detailed information on prices and availability, we recommend contacting House Comfort directly.
When should you seek speech therapy?
You should consult a speech therapist whenever you notice difficulties with communication, speech articulation, voice or swallowing. In children, signs such as delayed speech, difficulties with reading and writing, or problems with social interaction are indicative of such issues. In adults, a consultation is recommended following a stroke, neurological conditions or frequent changes in the voice.
Who might need speech therapy at home?
Home-based speech therapy is recommended for children, adults and older people who experience difficulties with communication, speech, language, voice or swallowing. It is particularly useful for people with reduced mobility, neurological disorders or those who prefer personalised care in the comfort of their own home.
What are the main benefits of home-based speech therapy?
- Personalised service in a friendly, welcoming atmosphere.
- Greater comfort and fewer trips for the patient.
- Flexible working hours and the ability to adapt to the client’s schedule.
- Greater family involvement in the therapeutic process, making the progress more effective.
How do House Comfort’s speech therapy sessions work?
The process begins with an initial assessment to identify the patient’s needs. Based on this assessment, the speech therapist draws up a personalised treatment plan. Sessions take place at home and involve specific exercises designed to improve communication, articulation, voice or swallowing.
