Speech Therapy
Speech therapists (also known as speech-language pathologists) evaluate, diagnose and treat patients with a wide variety of conditions that affect oral motor skills, swallowing, and speech and language abilities.

- Motor speech, fluency and voicing
- Language comprehension and usage
- Dysphagia
- Stroke
- Throat and neck cancer rehab
Speech therapists provide customized treatment plans to address each patient's unique challenges, and offer valuable information and encouragement to support each individual's goals.
