Real money. Real practice. Real results.

At True Self Speech Therapy, we believe the best therapy happens when it mirrors real life — and today was a perfect example of that.

One of our stroke survivors is working hard to relearn how to say numbers correctly — a skill that affects everything from telling someone your phone number to handling money at a store. So today, we pulled out actual cash and coins and got to work.

Counting change. Reading prices. Naming amounts out loud.

This is functional therapy — meeting our clients where they are and building skills they'll use every single day. Not worksheets for the sake of worksheets. Not drills disconnected from real life.

Because what's the point of speech therapy if it doesn't carry over into your world?

Technology is amazing. At True Self Speech Therapy we connect our clients with ALS to technology that preserves their voice so they can communicate authentically for longer.

Eric Dane took part in an AI voice restoration project before his death as means of restoring his ability to communicate via a synthetic voice. https://variety.com/2026/biz/news/rebecca-gayheart-eric-dane-ai-voice-restoration-project-1236684184/

"[Eric] was really excited about it, because he was losing his voice, and it was becoming more difficult for him to communicate each and every day. So it became sort of urgent," Rebecca Gayheart tells Variety.

“He was waiting anxiously to hear it, and when we got it from ElevenLabs it was a really big moment. It was a powerful moment. We played it, and Eric became visibly emotional. And when I heard it, I cried. I think everyone in the room did."

Our last group was so well received and full of meaningful connections that we couldn’t wait to start another round.

If you or someone you love has been struggling with a voice disorder, this one's for you.

A landmark research study just reviewed 30 clinical trials and 1,210 patients to find out which voice therapy approaches actually work — and the results are incredibly encouraging.

The bottom line? Voice therapy works. In fact, for many people, it's all you need — no surgery, no medication.

But here's the key: not all therapy approaches are created equal. The research shows that the most effective treatments combine multiple techniques, tailored to the individual. That's exactly the kind of care we provide every day.

We broke down the study in plain language so you don't have to wade through the medical jargon. Whether you're a teacher, a singer, a parent, or anyone who depends on their voice — this is worth a read.

If you’ve been struggling with your voice — whether it sounds rough, breathy, strained, or just “off” — you’re in good company. A major research study recently reviewed decades of evidence on voice disorders and how to treat them. Here’s what they found, in plain language: • About 1 ...

Have you ever finished a therapy session feeling great, only to get home and wonder — "am I doing these exercises right? Is this actually working?"

We hear you. That's why we're excited to share that our practice is now using Remote Therapeutic Monitoring (RTM) — a tool that lets us stay connected to your progress between visits. We can see how you're moving, how often you're completing your home program, and make adjustments before your next appointment. It's the same great care, just extended into your everyday life.
