Speech Language Pathology
At PT Works, we want to address the whole person, which is why in addition to Physical and Occupational Therapy, we also offer Speech Therapy.
A Speech Language Pathologist is responsible for evaluating, diagnosing, and treating people who have difficulty speaking, listening, reading, writing, or swallowing.
Our Speech Therapists specialize in Hawaiʻi’s geriatric population. They routinely help people who are stroke survivors or who have been living with Parkinson’s, Dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease. Our Speech Therapists strive to help all of our patients reach their highest functional level in communicating and swallowing. This, in turn, can lead to sometimes dramatic improvements in a patient’s quality of life.
Here are some key issues that our Speech Language Pathologists address:
- Evaluating speech, language, cognitive, and/or swallowing disorder secondary to neurological disorders
- Providing individual therapy sessions for speech, language, cognitive, and/or swallowing disorders secondary to neurological disorders
- Providing education and training to patients, families, other professionals, and facilities within the healthcare system regarding speech-language and swallowing disorders
Our licensed Speech Language Pathologists hold the American Speech Language and Hearing (ASHA) Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) and other required credentials (i.e. state licensure and certifications).
