Speech Therapy
Speech therapy utilizes many interventions aimed at improving the listening,
speaking, reading, writing and swallowing skills in adults and children.
A trained speech-language pathologist can provide evaluation and treatment,
collaborate with other healthcare professionals, counsel families on treatment
options, and be an advocate with insurance companies for reimbursement.
Our Services
- Aphasia (difficulty in speaking, reading or writing)
- Cognitive-communication disorders
- Dysarthria and Apraxia (weakness of the speech muscles)
- Dysphagia (difficulty swallowing)
- Voice disorders
-
Adult Services: Adults can acquire speech, language and swallowing disorders due to factors
such as stroke, head injury, diseases that affect the brain (i.e., ALS,
Parkinsons), breathing problems requiring a tracheotomy and/or ventilator,
head or neck cancer, abuse/misuse of the vocal cords, and severe or long-term illness.
-
Child Services: Children develop speech and language at varying rates. When a child's
skills do not continue to grow, or the speech and language is hard to
understand, they may have a speech or language delay or disorder.
