Speech Therapy

People of all ages seek care from a speech-language pathologist (also called a speech therapist) when they have problems communicating or swallowing. These problems may have existed from birth or resulted from an illness, accident or disease. These issues may impact a person’s self-esteem, motivation, socialization and quality of life.

Services

Speech Therapy can help in the following areas:

  • Speech disorders (difficulty producing speech sounds correctly)
  • Language disorders (difficulty understanding language or expressing thoughts)
  • Voice disorders (abnormal pitch, loudness or quality of voice)
  • Fluency disorders (stuttering)
  • Cognitive communication disorders (difficulty with attention, memory, reasoning, judgment or problem solving)
  • Augmentative/alternative communication (other means of communication such as gestures,  picture or word boards or speech generating devices)
  • Swallowing disorders (difficulty passing food or liquid from the mouth to the stomach)
