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.
