Our Approach
The Pediatric Speech-language Pathology Program focuses on diagnosing and treating patients who have difficulties with speech production, fluency, language, and feeding and swallowing.
- Goals of outpatient speech-language therapy
Speech-language pathology works with patients to maximize a child's functional speaking and communication skills. - Goals for swallowing therapy
When a child has difficulty swallowing, it can lead to health concerns, including the inability to meet nutritional targets and potential weight loss. Our goal is to improve their ability to eat and swallow safely and effectively to maintain adequate dietary intake for growth and development.
