Adult Speech Therapy

Adult Speech Therapy Services at Mustard Seeds Therapy provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment for adults experiencing difficulties with speech, language, voice, cognitive-communication, or swallowing (dysphagia) functions. These challenges may result from stroke, brain injury, neurological disorders such as Parkinson’s or ALS, head and neck cancer, or age-related changes.

Our licensed Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) use evidence-based techniques, such as oral-motor exercises, compensatory communication strategies, and swallowing rehabilitation protocols, to help adults regain clarity, safety, and confidence in their communication and daily living.

We are deeply committed to patient-centered, recovery-focused care that empowers adults to communicate effectively, eat safely, and participate fully in their personal and professional lives. We have invested in advanced therapeutic tools and ongoing professional development so our clinicians deliver evidence-based therapy that supports lasting progress.

Adult Speech Therapy Formats at Mustard Seeds

In-Home Therapy

Designed for adults who prefer care in a familiar setting or experience mobility or transportation challenges. Therapists bring clinical-grade materials and equipment directly to the home to support communication, voice, and swallowing goals in a functional environment.

Teletherapy / Virtual Sessions

A flexible and effective option for clients who benefit from remote access. Using secure video platforms, our SLPs deliver interactive therapy that supports consistency, progress tracking, and family participation across Nevada and California.

Caregiver & Family Training

Family involvement is essential for real-world progress. We provide education and hands-on strategies to help caregivers reinforce therapy goals between sessions and promote ongoing communication success.

Rehab & Skilled Nursing Support

Our therapists coordinate care with rehabilitation centers, hospitals, and skilled nursing facilities to support continuity of therapy during transitions of care and post-discharge recovery.

Adults & Populations We Support in Speech Therapy

Our Speech-Language Pathologists work with adults facing a variety of communication, cognitive, and swallowing challenges. Each stage of adulthood presents distinct needs, whether recovering from a neurological event, managing a progressive condition, or maintaining vocal health later in life. Therapy goals and methods are personalized to each client’s diagnosis, environment, and daily activities.

Stroke, Brain Injury & Cognitive Rehabilitation

We support adults recovering from stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or other neurological injuries that affect communication or cognition. Therapy focuses on aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, and memory or attention challenges, helping clients rebuild functional communication, problem-solving, and participation in daily life.

Neurological & Progressive Conditions

Our therapists work with individuals living with Parkinson’s disease, ALS, multiple sclerosis (MS), or dementia to address changes in speech, voice, and swallowing. Techniques such as LSVT LOUD® and respiratory muscle training help maintain clarity, strength, and safety while managing disease progression.

Voice, Swallowing & Head and Neck Cancer Rehabilitation

We provide therapy for adults recovering from voice disorders, swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), or head and neck cancer treatment. Sessions target voice quality, articulation, and safe swallowing, often coordinated with medical teams to support ongoing recovery and nutritional health.

Aging Adults & Professional Voice Users

We serve older adults experiencing age-related communication or swallowing changes and professionals who depend on their voice for teaching, leadership, or performance. Therapy promotes vocal endurance, speech clarity, and communication confidence in both personal and professional settings.

Evidence-Based Adult Speech Therapy Methods

Our clinicians use ASHA-recognized and research-supported treatment approaches to help adults recover or strengthen speech, language, voice, and swallowing abilities. Each method is selected based on the individual’s diagnosis, functional needs, and recovery goals.

Constraint-Induced Language Therapy (CILT)

An intensive language rehabilitation approach for adults with aphasia following stroke or brain injury. CILT focuses on improving verbal expression by restricting nonverbal communication (such as gestures or writing) and encouraging spoken language through repetitive, structured practice.

Melodic Intonation Therapy (MIT)

Designed for individuals with non-fluent aphasia, MIT uses rhythm, melody, and intonation patterns of speech to stimulate language production. This method leverages the brain’s right hemisphere to support recovery of expressive language when traditional speech centers are impaired.

Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT LOUD®)

A globally recognized, evidence-based program for Parkinson’s disease and voice disorders. LSVT LOUD® focuses on increasing vocal loudness, clarity, and confidence through intensive, high-effort voice exercises. Only certified SLPs provide this treatment.

VitalStim® Therapy

An FDA-cleared method for treating dysphagia (swallowing difficulties). VitalStim® delivers gentle neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to the swallowing muscles, improving strength and coordination during eating and drinking activities.

Respiratory Muscle Strength Training (RMST)

Used to strengthen the respiratory system and improve breath support, voice quality, and airway protection. RMST combines targeted resistance exercises with breathing control techniques to enhance endurance and safety during swallowing and speaking.

Cognitive-Communication Therapy

Addresses challenges related to attention, memory, organization, and problem-solving, often resulting from stroke, traumatic brain injury, or neurological disease. Therapy emphasizes functional strategies to improve independence in daily communication and work-related tasks.

Our Philosophy & Approach

Mustard Seeds Therapy’s approach to adult speech therapy is grounded in respect, empathy, and the belief that communication is central to independence and connection. Every adult deserves the chance to express themselves clearly, return to meaningful activities, and rebuild confidence after illness or injury. Our speech-language pathologists partner with clients and families to restore speech, voice, cognition, and swallowing abilities through practical, goal-driven therapy. Each session focuses on real-world outcomes, participating in conversations, managing work tasks, or enjoying meals safely, using proven methods that translate into everyday success and a renewed sense of self.

Functional, real-life communication goals based on each adult’s needs.
