Comprehensive speech therapy care improves quality of life
Penn Medicine SLPs offer a variety of therapies to help you heal and improve your quality of life. We evaluate you thoroughly to gain a comprehensive view of your needs. Depending on your condition, we may collaborate with otorhinolaryngologists, head and neck surgeons, oncologists, and other specialists. Then, we work with you to find a personalized treatment plan that preserves your highest level of function.
Our team works with people experiencing voice and speech issues, swallowing difficulty, and airway problems:
Many illnesses and injuries can affect your vocal quality or speaking abilities. Our SLPs work closely with ear, nose, and throat specialists to treat the underlying issue and help you regain your vocal function. We deliver effective, personalized care plans for voice and speech disorders to improve your ability to communicate.
Head and neck surgery or neurological conditions can lead to difficulty swallowing. Our SLPs provide swallowing therapy techniques that help you strengthen your tongue muscles and improve coordination, reducing your risk of choking. We work closely with otorhinolaryngologists, gastroenterologists, pulmonary medicine physicians, and other specialists to provide comprehensive care for swallowing disorders.
You don’t always think about your ability to speak or breathe until it becomes a challenge. Conditions that affect your airway can significantly limit your abilities and affect your quality of life. We understand how frustrating airway disorders can be and commit to bringing you effective treatment.
Our SLPs and otorhinolaryngologists are leaders in treating airway disorders. We’re experts in airway stenosis (narrowing) and caring for those recovering from or discontinuing a tracheostomy.
