Clinical Services Speech Therapy Program provides individuals with the opportunity to develop skills related to articulation, language, pragmatics, cognitive communication, swallowing, etc. These skills are targeted based on a treatment plan that includes strengths/weakness, client interest, and caregiver input.
As skills develop and progress is made, goals are adjusted in order to focus on accuracy maintenance while increasing the client’s independence. Progress is monitored on a quarterly basis, allowing for goal adjustment as deemed appropriate.
The onsite speech and language pathologist holds a master’s degree in Communicative Sciences and Disorders. The SLP maintains the requirements to practice by holding a speech and language pathology license in the state of Michigan in addition to national Certificate of Clinical Competence. The SLP has experiences in the field of school-based services, autism spectrum disorder, and augmentative and alternative communication.
