Speech Therapy

If you have had a stroke or other neurologic injury you may find you have trouble with swallowing. Your speech therapist will evaluate your condition and provide treatment for any swallowing problems you may be experiencing. 

Using cognitive retraining methods, our therapists can effectively retrain attention, memory, or reasoning skills affected by a brain injury or stroke. 

We offer treatment of dysarthria (slurred speech), apraxia, and aphasia caused by neurogenic conditions. 

For this videotaped study, your speech pathologist and radiologist will work together to assess your swallowing concerns. Following analysis of your study, your care team may recommend diet modifications, compensatory positions for swallowing, or additional swallowing therapy.

VitalStim is a type of electrical stimulation for swallowing designed to strengthen the muscles of the face and neck. Our VitalStim-certified speech pathologist will apply stimulation while you eat and drink. 

If you or your child have a stutter, your therapist may use techniques such as breath control, relaxation, and behavior modification to enhance your fluency. 

These evaluations are ideal if you have received speech therapy but still have communication issues that interfere with daily life. Following evaluation, we may recommend either low-tech or electronic communication devices. We also provide training for using these devices. 

We offer comprehensive speech-language therapy services for children with articulation and language disorders, developmental delay, central auditory processing disorders, and autism spectrum disorders.
