Speech Therapy

Speech-language pathologists provide services to adults and children with speech, language, voice, and swallowing problems.  Patients who may benefit from these therapies are those with neurological disorders such as stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and head injury; chronic hearing problems; cancers involving the head, neck, and digestive tract; and cranial-facial disorders, such as cleft palate.  Common problems evaluated and treated by speech-language pathologists include: articulation, language and voice disorders, aphasia, dysarthria, apraxia of speech, and laryngectomy rehabilitation.
