Speech Therapy

Speech Therapy is the corrective or rehabilitative treatment of physical and/or cognitive deficits/disorders resulting in difficulty with verbal communication. This includes both speech (articulation, intonation, rate, intensity) and language (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics, and both receptive and expressive language, including reading and writing).

Based upon a complete evaluation, our speech therapists develop a personalized and consistent rehabilitation program, in conjunction with the patient’s physician, and use a variety of treatment techniques.

When appropriate, our speech therapists provide family or caregiver training to reinforce and enhance the benefits of treatment to ensure better, faster recoveries…and fewer return visits to the physician’s office for additional treatment.

Services may include but are not limited to:

  • Speech Characteristics/Disorders (aphasia, dysarthria, and dyspraxia)
  • Auditory Comprehension
  • Oral/Motor Therapy
  • Reading Comprehension
  • Written Expression
  • Swallowing Disorders (laryngeal and pharyngeal)
