"We take a personal interest in your recovery."

Our Speech Pathology Department specializes in identifying and treating patients who have lost communication skills.  Speech pathologists assist patients with all aspects of communications.  Your speech-language pathologist's role may include evaluation of communication and cognitive skills (speaking, hearing, understanding, reading, writing, memory, orientation, problem solving, reasoning, and judgement).  They also treat patients who have eating, drinking, and swallowing difficulties.  Treatment may involve language therapy, voice therapy, oral motor exercises, a special test to identify swallowing problems, and alternative no-speech communication.  Speech therapists provide assistance to patients who experience frustration in their decreased ability to express themselves and through therapy promote their independence toward communication.
