Speech Therapy
Speech Therapy specializes in communication disorders as well as swallowing disorders. Many patients think of Speech Therapy as a way for children and adults to overcome a lisp or other speech impediment but speech therapy has a number of medical and social benefits. It treats swallowing disorders, in addition to improving verbal communication and memory skills.
Swallowing disorders can cause coughing immediately after eating, wet, gurgling sounds when eating or after, weight loss and dehydration. Left untreated, dysphagia causes the risk of aspiration, poor nutrition and a reduction in the enjoyment of life. This is a condition that can be treated with Speech Therapy Services.

- Treatment of dysphagia, difficulty swallowing or inability to swallow at all
