Services
The Department of Speech and Language Pathology provides a full range of evaluative, preventative, and rehabilitative services to those with communicative, cognitive, and swallowing disorders.

An individualized treatment plan focusing on re-establishing functional and reliable communication is implemented for each patient. Treatment goals may also address specific communicative-cognitive deficits through a variety of facilitatory and compensatory treatment techniques. Patients with swallowing disorders are seen for a comprehensive evaluation which may include a videofluorographic swallowing study to achieve safe swallowing. This is followed by swallowing treatment and diet modification as needed.
