Speech pathologists assess a person's ability to understand language and their ability to express themselves effectively so that they can be understood by others.
Communication can include the spoken word, sign, gesture as well as Assisted Augmentative Communication (AAC) like Proloquo2go, PODD or eye gaze devices.

Our professionals provide assessment and treatment for speech articulation difficulties, voice production, and swallowing concerns.
