Speech therapy provides services not only for correcting articulation of speech, but regaining cognitive aspects of communication as well. Speech therapy also focuses on the swallowing mechanism and how to regain its functional use. The need for speech therapy has grown tremendously, especially as the field has evolved.
What is Speech Therapy?
Speech therapy is an therapy service that focuses on improving a child or adult’s speech and abilities to understand and express language, including nonverbal language. Our peech therapists, or speech and language pathologists (SLPs), provide this service in our clinic located in Emporia Kansas.
Using modern tools such as VitalStim and Modified Barium Swallow Study our staff can use electrical stimulation with swallowing exercises to assist in strengthening muscles used in the swallowing process and restoring function. We can also assess the structures and function of the swallow with the use of radiology to determine appropriate diet consistencies, swallowing strategies and therapeutic plan of care..
