Who is a candidate for speech therapy?
To determine if you or a family member is a candidate for speech therapy, they complete an initial comprehensive speech and language assessment. The assessment evaluates the ability to speak, chew, eat, swallow, hear well, express emotions, and more, and this determines the services and plan of care. The frequency is dependent on specific needs, goals, and therapist availability at HQHT. We work with each patient to maximize benefits toward individual, real goals as needed if possible.

What can I expect with speech therapy sessions at HQHT?
During speech therapy, you can expect improved speech quality, better communication skills, improved cognitive function, better social skills, improved connections, optimal social communication and cognition, and easier eating, speaking, chewing, or swallowing.

You might participate in individual or group therapy. During sessions, a therapist teaches you ways to improve speech, feeding, or social functioning. Our team offers feeding therapy to retrain the brain to use mouth muscles in a more coordinated fashion, as well as craniosacral therapy, using gentle massage and integrative approaches to improve oral motor function in people with tight muscles in the face, jaw, head, or neck.

HQHT specialists also offer educational programming and training for caregivers and educators, following up with you or a family member to ensure long-lasting success.
