At Universal Connections Speech Pathology, speech and language pathologists (SLP) assess and treat patients who have speech, language, voice, fluency or oral motor disorders. We also assist people who wish to improve their communication skills through changes in vocal clarity, pitch, quality or accent. SLPs utilize special instruments, tests and tools to develop individualized treatment plans for patients. Some steps when initiating speech therapy include: consultation, research, screenings, assessments, behavioral modifications treatment and prevention.
Speech therapy includes: voice, fluency, language, articulation therapy and/or swallowing therapy depending on the individual needs of the patient.
Through speech (articulation) therapy, patients learn how to communicate more clearly through physical and mental exercises that help their brain and body grow more accustomed to speaking clearly and correctly.
