Speech Pathology

Our team of speech pathologists assists people who have a variety of communication and swallowing problems resulting from cancer, stroke and other neurologic conditions, including Parkinson's disease, ALS, and dementia.

Speech pathologists also treat people with conditions such as stuttering, deafness, pronunciation problems, husky voices or voices that become tired at the end of the day. Speech pathologists work with otorhinolaryngologists (ear, nose, and throat specialists), neurologists, psychologists and other physicians to improve speech capabilities for adults.

Services include:

  • speech assessment
  • language and swallowing skills
  • speech/language and cognitive therapy
  • swallowing therapy
  • voice restoration after laryngectomy and tracheotomy
  • modified barium swallow studies
  • fiberoptic swallowing evaluation

For additional information visit Ear, Nose, Throat Specialists.
