Speech Language Pathology

Trained to assess and treat communication, oral motor and swallowing problems that may occur at any age, Saint Elizabeth Health Care’s speech-language pathologists play a crucial role in helping adults and children at home and in the community. Communication disorders can be both frustrating and demoralizing, affecting an individual's ability to communicate at home, work or school. Our speech-language pathologists can help by providing social communication skills training and language development.

Speech-language pathologists also assist clients with eating and swallowing difficulties. They can help to reduce the risk of aspiration and choking, thereby increasing an individual’s safety, nutritional intake and overall enjoyment of eating.
