As medical speech-language pathologists, we have specialized training and expertise in evaluating and treating infants, children, and adolescents with speech, language, voice, fluency, and oral feeding/swallowing disorders. Early speech-language, and oral feeding intervention can help your child reach their full potential and be as independent as possible in school, the family, and the community.
If you have concerns about your child’s ability to communicate effectively or eat safely, your physician may recommend an evaluation with speech-language pathology. We provide a thorough evaluation and a plan for treatment to meet your child’s needs. Speech pathology services are available at the Akron campus and designated satellite locations in the area. Conditions we treat include:
- Oral motor feeding/swallowing disorders
- Receptive-expressive language delays/disorders
- Speech-articulation disorders
- Fluency disorders, including stuttering
- Voice and resonance disorders
- Vocal cord dysfunction
- Reading and written language disorders, including dyslexia
