HOW CAN A SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST HELP ME?

A Speech Language Pathologist is specially trained in how the brain
functions to provide us with the ability to listen, process information,
formulate responses (via speech, facial expressions, and writing), to
remember information, organize information, as well as, how to chew and
swallow.

A Speech-Language Pathologist can determine the location of the brain
dysfunction and the probable cause based on her knowledge of the brain.
Once the source of the disability is determined, a Speech-Language
Pathologist can then formulate appropriate therapeutic goals to address
the area(s) needing improvement. Goals are very specific and tailored
for each client.

WHY CAN A SPEECH-LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST HELP MY SWALLOWING?

That is a good question. The answer is that, basically, the same muscles
you use to speak, you also use to chew and swallow. It is amazing how
much complex activity can occur in such a relatively small area! Not all
Speech-Language Pathologists specialize in swallowing disorders, but at
Clear Speech Works, Denise Russo, MA, CCC-SLP, has expertise in
disorders that affect chewing and swallowing.
