Speech therapy, similar to the other therapies, focuses on restoring an individual to a prior/highest level of function. Difficulties that may arise from a stroke, head injury or illness can be relearned or compensated for through the teaching of a speech language pathologist. Areas of speech therapy include: communication, cognition, voice, stuttering, and swallowing. Our speech/language programs include Vital Stim, a specialized concept in treating swallowing difficulties.
