Speech Therapy

If you have trouble with swallowing or speech-related issues, see how speech therapy can help.

“Kelci did a great job with me. My focus was not really good when I started, and I had trouble thinking of words. WIth all the exercises she did with me, everything got better. The homework she gave me helped me a lot, and I think it helped me to improve as fast as I did. I can’t believe I only had to have 5 weeks of therapy! – Shirley K.


Swallowing

Do you have difficulty swallowing? Do you notice coughing or throat clearing when eating or drinking? Is it difficult for you to swallow pills? Do you feel that food or pills are stuck in your throat after swallowing?  If you answered yes to any of these questions you may benefit from a swallow evaluation. 

During your first appointment at 21st Century Rehab, you will meet with a Speech Pathologist who specializes in treating your condition. A full assessment will take place and you will discuss your symptoms as well as treatment options. An individualized treatment program will be developed between you and your therapist to address your symptoms and help you improve your ability to eat and drink safely again!
