Speech Language Pathology
Enhancing quality of life for patients with communication, cognition and swallowing disorders
SLUCare Physician Group speech language pathologists are licensed, certified specialists who evaluate, diagnose and treat adults with speech, language, cognition, voice or swallowing difficulties. We collaborate with patients and their caregivers to develop a unique, individualized treatment plan. And together with other health care team members, we work to help patients achieve the highest level of function and to successfully participate in meaningful activities and interactions.
