Many people think speech and language therapy only treats speech impediments, like stuttering. But, while it is true that speech pathologists, or speech therapists, do help correct those conditions, that’s only a small part of what they do.
Our expert speech pathologists have years of experience improving patients’ overall quality of life by helping them with:
• Articulation or word pronunciation
• Fluency or stuttering
• Language comprehension and expression
• Social skills
• Oral motor skills
• Swallowing
At Middlesex Hospital, our therapists stay with you through every stage of your speech therapy—from inpatient to outpatient if necessary—creating a more consistent continuum of care, a more familiar, comfortable relationship, better knowledge of your treatment history and needs, and, ultimately, better results.
And we use all of the latest, most trusted techniques and equipment to help you get the best outcome possible from your therapy sessions, including:
• Modified Barium Swallow Study: a scan to identify where any swallowing problems are occurring, along with potential ways to make swallowing easier
• Fiber optic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES): uses a small scope to get a clearer, more direct view of any swallowing problems
• Visi-Pitch: a powerful tool used to diagnose, visualize and measure voice issues, helping your therapist better tailor your therapy to your needs
