Rehabilitation Services
Speech Language Pathology
Our speech language pathologist develops specialized
treatment and rehabilitation programs that address the unique
needs of all age groups—from infants
to seniors. Whether a patient's needs are the result of an injury
or existing at the time of birth, the staff evaluates and
prescribes the appropriate treatment and rehabilitation services
to enhance the patient's
abilities.
Following a physician referral, our speech language
pathologist evaluates the current abilities of the patient
and develops the treatment program that will broaden and maximize
the patient's
normal activities. Referring physicians remain an integral
part of treatment and re-evaluation.
