Individuals with cognitive language disorders may struggle with expressing their thoughts with language or comprehending it.
Our highly skilled speech-language pathologists provide unique, specialized treatments based on the patient’s individual needs. Our treatment focuses on strengthening the region of the brain responsible for language and cognition.
Our speech-language pathologists conduct a comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of children with language disorders, language delays and language-based learning disabilities with the latest evidence-based methods.
The child will first receive a comprehensive evaluation of their speech and language capabilities. Based on that evaluation, a treatment plan will be developed with the goal of improving the child’s spoken and written language skills.
We evaluate and treat articulation, phonological and motor speech disorders wherein individuals with these disorders struggle to pronounce sounds and words clearly, making their speech hard to understand. We treat:
- Apraxia: A motor speech disorder where the brain cannot process the movements necessary for speech.
- Dysarthria: A disorder where the muscles in the face or respiratory system responsible for speech are weakened. This leads to slurred, unclear speech.
These disorders can be the result of stroke or brain damage.
We provide expert diagnosis and treatment to children and adults who deal with the problem of stuttering. Stuttering usually originates in childhood, and may persist into adulthood.
Our comprehensive treatment helps reduce the severity of stuttering over a person’s life. We use effective strategies helping our patients produce smoother speech.
Dysphagia is a condition where individuals(both children and adults) experience difficulty swallowing. This disorder affects the ability to safely swallow food or liquids and protect the airway. We provide comprehensive dysphagia treatment plans personalized to the patient’s specific needs.
A voice disorder occurs when the patient has an unusual pitch or loudness that affects his day-to-day life.
Voice disorders can be categorized as follows:
- Organic: Organic voice disorders arise from changes in the vocal tract mechanisms.
- Functional: Functional voice disorders result from poor use of the vocal tract with a normal physical structure.
We assess and treat individuals with voice disorders. Our treatments include therapy and medication.
