The Rehabilitation Institute at Memorial University
Medical Center offers a variety of speech language pathology services,
including:
- Speech and language therapy for adults who have suffered a
stroke and who may have a residual disorder in language comprehension
and expression, reading comprehension, written language formulation,
or quality/distinctness of speech production.
- Cognitive retraining for individuals who have had a stroke
or brain injury. Since these types of injuries may influence
thought organization, memory, reasoning, and judgment, therapy assists in the
management of personal and financial affairs and independent
living
skills.
- Swallowing evaluation and treatment for patients with neurological
and anatomical disorders. These patients often have had a
stroke, brain injury, or oral/pharyngeal cancer.
- Voice therapy for chronic hoarseness, vocal nodules, vocal
polyps, or other types of dysphonia.
- Care and treatment of the laryngectomy patient. This may include
electronic voice aid instruction, esophageal speech, and
tracheo-esophageal puncture.
- Care and treatment for people who have had a supraglottic
laryngectomy and now have voice and swallowing disorders.
