Abstract
The older patient becomes progressively more dependent upon verbal communication. A breakdown in communication or an impairment in speech and language disturbs his relationship with his environment. This factor is taken into consideration when the setting for speech therapy is assessed. In view of the many other factors inherent in the situation, a multidisciplinary approach is usual.Keywords
