Speech pathology

Our speech pathologists focus on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of communication and swallowing disorders.

These may include difficulties with speech, language, voice, fluency, and understanding or expressing language, as well as challenges with eating and swallowing (dysphagia).

Whether it’s supporting recovery after a stroke, managing a neurological condition like Parkinson’s, or helping a child develop communication skills, our speech pathologists use evidence-based approaches tailored to each individual’s unique needs.
