Speech Therapy

Language is our most human characteristic. Communication disorders can affect anyone. Our speech-language pathologists are healthcare professionals educated and trained to evaluate and treat individuals of all ages with a variety of communication, cognitive, or swallowing problems.

Our speech therapists use computer technology, voice or language exercises and other training tools to help people develop effective communication and cognitive skills.
