Speech Therapy

Speech Language Therapy encompasses the full range of human communication and its disorders.

Speech Therapy is often warranted in individuals who experience any of the following conditions:

 

·        Stroke

·        Head Trauma

·        Recurrent Pneumonia (may be due to aspiration)

·        Generalized Weakness

·        Parkinson’s Disease

·        Alzheimer’s Disease

·        Muscular Dystrophy

·        Multiple Sclerosis

·        Dysphagia (swallowing difficulty)

·        Speech Delays

·        Stuttering

·        Speech Impediments 

 

Many other diagnoses exist for which speech language therapy treatment is appropriate and beneficial. Please, contact our department to speak with a therapist about any questions or concerns related to you or your loved one’s therapy needs (618) 283-5548.
