Speech Therapy

Speech therapy assists patients with more than just speech and language difficulties. Although they work with patients with communication problems, they can also complete swallow studies and recommend individualized food consistencies for improved swallowing. Speech therapy can also help with cognitive thought processing deficits often seen following strokes or head injuries. Speech therapy provides care to patients of all ages.
