Speech & Swallowing Rehabilitation

Our Approach

Adult Speech & Swallowing Therapy: For adults with speech, voice, cognitive, or swallowing problems, the speech pathologists at Saint Clare’s are ready to help. Specialized treatments can improve many communication or swallowing problems related to:

We recommend that adults with swallowing difficulties speak to their physician about their concern and discuss the underlying cause. If ordered by the doctor, our licensed speech pathologists can perform a clinical swallow evaluation. If a more advanced modified barium swallow study (MBS) is recommended by your physician, we can perform this study in partnership with Saint Clare’s radiology department. Once a problem is identified, our therapists will provide expert care, setting goals and a plan of care specific to the patient’s needs.
