Speech Therapy

We provide a complete evaluation and thorough intervention until remission of symptoms is achieved whilst simultaneously reinforcing the patient’s personal self-esteem

We provide a complete evaluation and thorough intervention until remission of symptoms is achieved whilst simultaneously reinforcing the patient’s personal self-esteem. Speech therapy covers both prevention and diagnosis and the subsequent multiple treatments related to communication, speech, language, voice or swallowing. At the Colev Clinic, we aim to improve the health and quality of life of people who suffer from a pathology of language and communication.

We are specialists in the detection and intervention of children and adolescents who present difficulties whilst learning. We work with them, but also with their families and schools, in a thorough manner. This is done to ensure that they can apply the guidelines for action in rehabilitation and that they can overcome those difficulties that are interfering in both their academic performance and personal development. We provide a personalized service to address each of these difficulties with treatments completely adapted to your child’s particular needs.
