Department of Speech and Language Therapy
About
The Speech and Language Therapy Department of the German Medical Institute provides comprehensive services in prevention, assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation for communication, speech, voice, feeding, and swallowing disorders in patients of all ages. Our mission is to enhance each person’s communication, verbal or non-verbal, improve their daily life, and support their involvement in the community, by offering personalized and scientifically supported care.
Speech, language, voice, and swallowing disorders may arise from neurological conditions (such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or dementia), head or neck injuries, surgeries, or muscular weakness. Early assessment and interdisciplinary intervention are crucial for restoring functionality and improving the patient’s quality of life.
Our Role
At the German Medical Institute, the Speech and Language Therapy Department works closely with physicians, nurses, physiotherapists, educators, and families to support communication and feeding at every stage of rehabilitation.
Our services include:
-
Counselling and family education to support communication and swallowing at home.
-
Prevention and awareness through early detection of disorders, public education, and development of health programs.
-
Assessment and diagnosis of speech, language, voice, and swallowing disorders according to international standards.
-
Therapy and intervention through individualized programs aimed at restoring communication, voice, and swallowing skills.
Each therapy program is tailored to the individual’s needs, taking into account cultural, linguistic, and personal factors.

-
Feeding and swallowing disorders (Dysphagia) – e.g. following neurological damage, surgeries, or neuromuscular disorders.
