Many people don’t realize that Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome can affect speech, voice, and swallowing—and individuals with EDS are often left searching for answers or told their symptoms aren’t “real.”

At True Self Speech Therapy, we have experience supporting people with EDS who deal with vocal fatigue, swallowing challenges, chronic cough, or muscle tension that impacts daily communication.

Our approach is gentle, collaborative, and trauma-informed. We listen. We believe you. And we tailor therapy so your voice and body feel supported—not pushed.

We put together practical communication strategies that help caregivers communicate more confidently and help loved ones feel understood, respected, and included.
