Rehabilitation & therapy
Speech Therapy
Support for speech, language, and swallowing, for children and adults. Your speech therapist and your primary care team share one record and one plan, so the people helping you communicate already know the rest of your health.
Scope of care
What our speech therapy care covers
A general look at the concerns our speech therapy care helps with. Your primary care provider stays in the loop throughout, and we bring you in for the right evaluation when it is needed.
-
Speech and language evaluation
A careful look at how speech and language are developing or changing, coordinated with the rest of your care.
-
Articulation and fluency
Support with clear speech sounds and smoother, more comfortable speaking, with a plan your primary care team helps carry between visits.
-
Language development in children
Help for children building words, sentences, and understanding, with steady support as they grow.
-
Swallowing therapy
Care for difficulty with swallowing, with the right evaluation and steady follow-up alongside your everyday care.
-
Communication after illness or injury
Rebuilding speech and communication after an illness or injury, in step with the rest of your recovery.
The Rockwell difference
Connected to your primary care
The point of speech therapy at Rockwell is not only that it is here. It is that it works with the rest of your care instead of apart from it.
Your speech therapist is a colleague down the hall from your primary care provider, working from the same record toward the same plan.
- An in-house referral
- When your primary care provider thinks you should see a speech therapist, they connect you to one of ours, not a stranger across the city with a long waiting list.
- One record, one plan
- Your speech therapist and your primary care team work from the same shared record, so your therapy builds on what they already know about you.
- Results that flow back
- Findings, notes, and next steps return to your everyday care, so your provider can act on them and nothing falls between visits.
What to expect
How a referral usually works
When your provider may refer you and what tends to follow. Every visit is shaped around you, so the details can vary.
-
Your provider refers you
During a regular visit, your primary care provider may suggest speech therapy based on your symptoms, history, or development.
-
You meet your speech therapist
You see one of our speech therapists, who already has your shared record and reviews speech, language, and goals with you in plain language.
-
Your care stays joined up
Any plan is shared back with your primary care team, who help you follow it and keep your overall care moving in one direction.
