Speech Therapy

Helping Children and Adults Find Their Voice
That’s why we’re here.

Speech therapy, also known as speech-language pathology (SLP), focuses on helping individuals with communication and swallowing difficulties. These services are typically tailored for children and adults, addressing various conditions like articulation problems, language delays, and swallowing disorders. 

Contact your Primary Care Provider for a therapy referral.

Areas Addressed Through Speech Therapy

  • Articulation: Improving the ability to produce specific sounds and words.
  • Cognitive communication: Enhancing communication skills related to thinking and problem-solving.
  • Language: Expanding vocabulary, developing grammar, and enhancing comprehension.
  • Swallowing: Addressing difficulties with eating and drinking.
  • Voice: Improving vocal quality and reducing voice problems.

Comprehensive Speech Therapy Tailored to Individual Needs

Our speech therapy begins with an assessment to evaluate an individual’s communication or swallowing skills to identify areas of need. We then create a customized treatment plan based on the identified needs that typically includes:

  • One-on-one sessions that provide focused therapy, often with parent/caregiver involvement.
  • Therapy techniques that include play-based learning, structured activities, and exercises to improve communication skills.
  • Collaboration with families and other healthcare professionals to ensure consistent support.

If you or a loved one could benefit from speech therapy, ask your primary care provider for a referral or call the hospital at 843.339.2100.
