HealthPoint Speech Therapy
Speech Pathologists in Wooster, OH
The speech pathologists at HealthPoint provide top-quality therapy to those who have difficulty communicating or swallowing. This may be due to illness or conditions such as a stroke, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, autism, speech disorders, swallowing disorders, and more.
The highly qualified team of professionals in our speech pathology department is specially trained to help each patient reach their maximum potential by providing individualized evaluation and treatment of communication or swallowing disorders.
Our speech therapy services include:
The speech pathologists at WCH’s HealthPoint are specially trained to diagnose and treat swallowing disorders. Our diagnostic evaluations include bedside swallowing and modified barium swallow evaluations.
Our therapists treat patients with tongue thrust, in which the tongue protrudes when swallowing, speaking, or even while at rest.
Among the therapies we offer is a habit-training technique that involves reeducating tongue muscles and those associated with swallowing. This focuses on adjusting a patient’s swallowing pattern, which is often a prerequisite for braces.
