Drake Center: Specialized Medical & Rehabilitative Care

Speech-Language Pathology & Audiology

Most often, individuals need speech-language pathology after injury, illness, or surgery, or because lifelong conditions limit their abilities. Speech-language pathology professionals can help patients relearn how to talk; find alternative ways to communicate; relearn safe swallowing skills; rebuild their thinking, memory, and problem-solving skills; and return to home and work faster with a plan for preventing future problems.

In addition, audiology professionals can evaluate patients’ hearing-related problems and recommend solutions that can improve their hearing or balance.

Speech-language pathology and audiology mean help in improving all these patients’ quality of life. Drake Center offers one of the most skilled speech-language pathology and audiology programs in the Tri-state.
