Through tailored speech and language pathology therapies, we unlock the potential within each person, transforming hesitant whispers into resounding roars. 

Elevating the Eating Experience: Swallowing Evaluations

A number of health conditions and procedures make swallowing difficult, including strokes, traumatic brain injuries, and Parkinson’s disease. Our expert clinicians conduct thorough swallowing evaluations using state-of-the-art techniques. 

From there, our at-home speech-language pathologists build effective treatment plans that are specific both to the patient’s condition and to their individual needs and goals. Those treatment plans can include the following as well as training and education for both patients and their family members:

  • Diet Modifications 
  • Swallowing Therapy Techniques 
  • Oral Motor Exercises 

Revitalizing Swallowing Difficulty: VitalStim® Therapy

In addition to the above therapies, our in-home speech therapy services include VitalStim—an innovative treatment that enhances swallowing function through neuromuscular electrical stimulation. Our certified occupational therapists deliver this transformative therapy to provide not just solutions but also renewed hope for individuals struggling with swallowing.

Why choose VitalStim therapy? Here are just a few ways it can make a difference:

  • Stimulates Muscle Strength: Helps activate and strengthen the muscles involved in swallowing, making each swallow easier and more effective.
  • Enhances Coordination: Improves the timing and coordination of swallowing, reducing the risk of aspiration and other complications.
  • Boosts Confidence: Helps patients regain independence in eating and drinking, alleviating the anxiety that often accompanies swallowing difficulties.

Overcoming Chatter Challenges: Communication Disorder Care

Speech and language pathology helps with everything from stutters to voice disorders using:

  • Speech Therapy Sessions: Tailored therapy that transforms challenges into confidence, enhancing articulation, fluency, and voice quality.
  • Language Intervention Activities: Engaging games to supercharge vocabulary, boost sentence structure, and elevate language skills.
  • Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) Devices: Assessment and integration of innovative tools that help communication barriers.
