The Speech and Language Pathology Department is widely recognized
for its excellent programs dealing with adult communication disorders
resulting from a brain injury, voice problems, swallowing disorders or
oral motor dysfunction.
Services may begin while a person is in one of the three Beaumont
hospitals or begin as an outpatient at various locations. A
comprehensive evaluation will be completed, results discussed and a
treatment program developed by a certified and licensed speech-language
pathologist.
Specialized treatment materials and individualized home programs help the person achieve their communication goals.
Insurance
Coverage from most major insurance companies is accepted, but
coverage for treatment depends on the individual insurance benefits.
Scholarship funding may be available.
Referral
A physician referral is required to initiate treatment. Once the
referral is received by our offices, the individual will be scheduled
for an evaluation in a timely manner.
Individuals may also benefit from occupational therapy, physical therapy, recreational therapy or social work.
