Speech therapy is a service for patients with oral motor, speech, language, voice, cognitive, and swallowing impairments.
Clinical tests are performed to assess the effects of patients' impairments on functional communication or swallowing in order to determine the best course of clinical management and effect positive outcomes.
Specialized studies are conducted to objectively assess the function of the swallowing mechanism, and to assess and treat language and communicative discourse abilities in neurologically impaired populations.
Infants and children with various genetic or developmental conditions are assessed to establish accurate diagnosis and to provide clinical recommendations to local programs.
