Speech therapy includes language activities, articulation therapy and swallowing therapy depending on the individual needs of the patient. Through speech therapy, patients learn how to communicate more clearly through physical and mental exercises that help their brain and body grow more accustomed to speaking without a stutter, slur or whatever else is impeding their speech. 

Language therapy is often divided up into the ability to use language and the ability to understand language. Language therapy targets vocabulary and the ability to put words together to form sentences. Language therapy may also address listening skills, the ability to follow verbal directions, and understanding spoken language. In children, therapy may also treat social communication disorders and deficits in written language and reading comprehension. 

Dysphagia Therapy is the treatment of swallow disorders from a variety of reasons including, but not limited to, strokes, cognitive decline, neurological impairments. Treatment includes exercises and compensatory strategies to improve or maintain swallow function.  

Once the physician's orders are received, one of our team of professional providers will evaluate and assess the orders. 

During the assessment process, speech/language pathologists utilize special instruments, tests and tools to develop individualized treatment plans for patients. This includes screenings, research, consultations, and goal planning depending on individual needs. 

The provider will then design the appropriate course of treatment (therapy) based on our person-centered, individualized approach. Therapeutic activities are based on the goals and objectives set forth by the treatment plan. Speech/language pathologists utilize special instruments, tests and tools to develop individualized treatment plans for patients.
