Overview

What are neurogenic communication disorders?

Texas Talkers provides adult speech therapy in Flower Mound for individuals experiencing communication changes after stroke, brain injury, progressive neurological conditions, or other medical events. We provide speech therapy for adults in Flower Mound and surrounding Dallas-Fort Worth communities.

Neurogenic communication disorders are changes in speech, language, cognition, or motor planning that can happen after a neurological event or condition. These differences may affect how a person understands information, finds words, expresses ideas, plans speech movements, remembers details, organizes thoughts, or keeps up with conversation.

Support is tailored to the individual and may focus on practical communication needs at home, in the community, at work, or in important relationships. Therapy is grounded in functional outcomes, not just drills or isolated tasks.

Care may include support for aphasia, apraxia of speech, dysarthria, AAC, attention and memory strategies, word-finding support, and improving confidence in everyday speaking situations.

Areas of support

When therapy may be helpful

  • Difficulty finding words or organizing thoughts in conversation
  • Trouble understanding longer directions, information, or spoken language
  • Changes in speech clarity or difficulty planning speech movements
  • Challenges with memory, attention, problem solving, or communication in daily routines
  • Feeling less confident speaking in social, family, or professional settings
  • Needing communication strategies after stroke, brain injury, illness, or other neurological change

Therapy can include restorative work when appropriate, practical compensatory strategies, caregiver or partner education, and personalized tools that help communication feel more manageable and more successful in real life.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does speech therapy take after a stroke?

There is no one timeline for speech therapy after a stroke. Frequency and length of therapy depend on the diagnosis, severity of communication changes, medical status, personal goals, progress over time, and the individual’s daily needs. An evaluation helps determine what kind of support makes the most sense and how therapy may be structured.
