Imagine, for a moment, you could not speak and communicate effectively – unable to easily ask a question, share a thought or hold a conversation.
This is often the case for those who suffer from a stroke, dementia, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis, cancer, concussion, cognitive disorders or mental health issues. Some of these conditions can also make it difficult to swallow.

- Stuttering

- Problems organizing thoughts
