Speech Therapy

Speech therapy (also known as speech-language pathology) is an important
health-related specialty concerned with normal development of human
communication and treatment of its disorders. Speech therapy focuses on
voice and speech-language skills.  Speech or language disorders may be
present at birth or acquired later in life by disease, illness, head injury,
substance abuse or allergy.

Speech-language pathology is used to help:

  • Individuals with voice disorders -  to develop
    proper control of their vocal and respiratory systems
  • Individuals who stutter -  to learn to cope with the disorder and increase fluency
  • Individuals with aphasia, (a condition in which an individual has difficulty expressing thoughts and understanding others) as a result of a stroke or head injury.
