Speech and Cognitive Therapy Boot Camps

All clients at Austin Speech Labs are enrolled in our Speech and Cognitive Therapy Boot Camps. These Camps offer stroke survivors high quality, intensive, and affordable speech and cognitive therapy. The Boot Camps are eight-week long sessions that are offered five times throughout the year.

Clients participate in therapy each week on a set schedule and may receive up to 15 hours of therapy per week. We provide individual, group, and computer therapy. If clients are unable to come to our Austin office, they may receive teletherapy over Zoom. All clients receiving teletherapy must be located in Texas.

The different types of therapy clients engage in at Austin Speech Labs target similar focus areas, including reading, writing, auditory processing, automatic speech, memory, cognition, conversation, vocabulary, and language. Volunteers assist licensed Speech-Language Pathologists during therapy.

Between each Boot Camp session, there are breaks for our clients to absorb and practice what they have learned and decide with their caregivers if they want to continue with therapy in the next Boot Camp session. In 2023, we are providing Mini-Camps during the breaks for those who want to continue with therapy. Therapy is not offered outside of the Boot Camps or Mini-Camps. To learn more about how our Boot Camps work, please see our FAQ.
