Speech Therapy and Language Pathology

Outpatient speech therapists provide a full range of auditory and speech language pathology services, all aimed at improving a patient's communication, cognitive and linguistic skills, hearing and swallowing abilities.

A therapist licensed by the state of California and certified by the American Speech-Language Hearing Association conducts a thorough diagnostic evaluation and develops an appropriate treatment plan, incorporating patient/family education and necessary follow-up services.

The program can help individuals who experience:

• Communication problems following stroke (aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria).
• Voice disorders including vocal nodules and vocal paresis.
• Dysphagia (swallowing difficulties).
• Communication and swallowing problems related to surgery and radiation.
