Early intervention is essential for children who have speech, language and communication difficulties. Our therapists will use a variety of play materials and games to assess your child's abilities in an informal child- friendly environment and make recommendations about the appropriate intervention- be it regular therapy at our clinic premises and/or exercises and activities to be done at home.

For some patients with speech-language and swallowing difficulties, travelling to the clinic for assessment and therapy is difficult due to their declined general condition or lack of support to enable frequent travel to the clinic premises.
ISSW provides Speech-Language and Swallowing Therapy services at the nursing home of the patient on request. Certain objective tests may still need to be done in the clinics ( such as VFS or FEES), but therapy subsequently can be continued at the nursing home of the patient. This is particularly a preferred option when the patient is either
too frail to travel or has no support available to bring him/her on
a regular basis for treatment at the clinic.

ISSW is the first clinic in Singapore to use the latest version of the VitalStim Therapy unit called the VITALSTIM Intellect. This upgraded version of the FDA approved electrical Stimulator allows the clinician to use biofeedback along with electrical stimulation.
The unit is loaded with all the resources that a clinician could use to educate the patient and family members as a part of the Dysphagia management program.
Ask our Speech Therapists to find out more about this new service for patients with dysphagia.
Feel free to contact us about any Speech, Language or Swallowing problem. Submit your questions and our experts will answer.
