Speech Therapy
What Is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy involves the evaluation and treatment of disorders related to speech, swallowing and communication. Upon the referral of a physician, licensed speech-language pathologists (SLPs) work with patients to address cognitive and motor disabilities, helping to restore essential functions.
Our Speech Therapy Services
SLP services provide daily assessment and treatment for a wide range of conditions, including:
- Head and neck cancer
- Memory impairments (stroke, brain injury, chemo brain)
- Neurological impairments
- Speech impairments (slurred speech, dysarthria, apraxia)
- Swallowing disorders (dysphagia)
- Tracheostomy support (assessment for Passy-Muir speaking valve)
- Verbal and written communication
The primary goal of these services is to help patients regain the ability to communicate clearly and swallow safely.
