The Speech & Hearing Center works in tandem with community agencies that are committed to the rehabilitation needs of communicatively impaired individuals and their families. We partner with physicians, nurses, educators, communication professionals, and social workers to ensure that the individuals we serve have the highest quality of treatment at the most affordable rates. Additionally, our staff provides guidelines and direction to family members so they can carry over skills learned in therapy into every day activities. Truly, parent involvement is a vital component to the success of improved speech and language skills of one’s child.
