Speech-language pathologists are communication specialists who treat speech and language problems as well as swallowing disorders, fluency and other related disorders.
How Can We Help?
Communication problems can affect people and families on many levels. Our speech-language pathologists focus carefully on personal attention and interaction. We believe that the relationship between our therapists and patients is one of the most important factors in the healing process. We also believe that communication with and education of the patient's loved ones is of utmost importance. The clinical methods used will vary depending on the nature and severity of the problem, the age of the individual and the individual's awareness of the problem.
Our goals are to:
|
- Develop a treatment plan of care for each patient.
- Counsel patients with speech, language, and swallowing disorders to understand their disorder and to achieve more normal communication in educational, social and workplace settings.
- Advise individuals and the community on how to prevent speech, language, cognitive and swallowing disorders.
