Providing speech, language and/or swallowing therapy for people who are at risk or show signs of impairment.
Speech-language pathologists evaluate and treat individuals with a variety of difficulties ranging from language disorders to swallowing difficulties as well as social and cognitive-communication deficits. Most often these conditions occur secondary to more serious underlying causes such as cerebrovascular accident (CVA), traumatic brain injury, and neurodegenerative diseases.
Speech-language and swallowing therapy can provide education to caregivers, rehabilitate skills, and teach helpful compensatory strategies.
Through personalized programs, we can help improve adult swallowing and speech/language skills for disorders such as:
- Parkinson's Disease - causing dysphagia, dementia, and dysphonia
- CVA/TIA Resulting in dysphagia, dementia, dysarthria, aphasia
- Autoimmune Disorders (MS, Lupus, Myasthenia Gravis, RA) leading to dysphagia and dysphonia
- Traumatic Brain Injury affecting executive functioning and social skills
- ALS causing dysphagia, aphonia
