Understanding Speech Therapy
At Huntsville Memorial Hospital, a licensed Speech and Language Pathologist
evaluates each patient's condition and develops an individual treatment
plan to restore communication and/or swallowing functions. Augmentative
communication devices may be utilized in conjunction with traditional
strategies as well.
Speech therapy is for patients who:
- Have autism
- Have voice (or resonance) disorders
- Have fluency disorders (like stuttering)
- Have suffered a mouth/ jaw/ tongue injury
- Have cognitive/ communication disorders
Speech Therapy & Children
Speech therapy is often required for children who are suffering a speech
disorder or could benefit from speech therapy due to other conditions
(like autism). Our friendly and compassionate staff is sensitive to needs
and concerns of these young patients and their families and are committed
to providing an accepting, low-stress environment where children can learn
and thrive.
