Speech and Language Therapy

Speech-language pathologists at Cooper University Health Care evaluate and treat children and adults who experience difficulties with communication and swallowing.

Our patients range in age from birth through adulthood. For each patient, a comprehensive evaluation is completed to assist the speech-language pathologists in developing a treatment plan. We work closely with families and referring physicians to identify the patient’s strengths and their needs to create an individualized treatment plan that can be implemented across various contexts (schools, outpatient therapy, at-home program, etc.).

We evaluate and treat disorders of: 

• Child language.
• Speech/articulation disorders.
• Fluency.
• Feeding and swallowing.
• Voice.
• Aphasia.
• Degenerative diseases.
• Cognition.
• Head and neck cancer.

We are trained in the evaluation process and use of alternative and augmentative communication devices. We complete modified barium swallow studies to assess swallowing function for pediatric and adult populations in the inpatient and outpatient settings.
