Speech Therapy in Quarteira for Children and Adults

At Multiclínica do Algarve, we provide a complete and humanised speech therapy service in Quarteira, with a focus on promoting effective communication, functional rehabilitation and the overall well-being of our patients. This service is essential for both children and adults facing difficulties related to speech, language, voice, hearing and swallowing. We have an experienced multidisciplinary team of qualified speech therapists who use approaches based on clinical evidence and adapted to the individual needs of each patient.

In childhood, speech therapy plays a fundamental role in the development of oral and written language, helping to prevent or correct delays that can impact learning and socialisation. Problems such as dyslalia (letter switching), speech delay, articulation difficulties or stammering are common and can be successfully treated when diagnosed early. Our team assesses each child in detail and proposes a personalised intervention plan, also involving parents or carers in the therapeutic process.

In adults, this type of intervention is often necessary after neurological events such as strokes, head trauma or degenerative diseases, which can affect speech, language and the ability to swallow. It is also useful in cases of vocal alterations, such as persistent hoarseness or nodules on the vocal cords, especially in professionals who use their voice intensively (teachers, singers, announcers, among others). With an adjusted rehabilitation plan, it is possible to significantly improve patients' quality of life.

Another important aspect of our approach is to pay attention to swallowing difficulties (dysphagia), which can appear in various age groups and cause serious health complications if left untreated. The speech therapist's intervention makes it possible to restore swallowing function, prevent choking and avoid aspiration of food into the lungs. This type of therapy involves clinical and instrumental assessments, as well as specific exercises to strengthen the muscles involved in the feeding process.

At Multiclínica do Algarve, we believe that communication is everyone's right, which is why we continually invest in training, equipment and innovative methodologies to guarantee effective and lasting results. Our office in Quarteira is prepared to cater for everyone from babies to the elderly, with a cosy and appropriate environment for each age group. Sessions are conducted with empathy, professionalism and respect for each patient's pace.

We also offer complementary guidance for families, schools and carers, with the aim of boosting treatment and integrating communication into the patient's daily life. We know that the involvement of the family and social environment is crucial to the success of the therapy, especially for school-age children or elderly people in situations of dependency.

Finally, we emphasise that all our practices follow the ethical and scientific standards defined by the competent bodies. To find out more about the principles, methods and benefits of this speciality.
