Working in partnership with families, speech-language pathologists in the Communication Therapy Department focus on programs which develop and maintain functional communication and feeding during daily activities.
Speech language pathology is the science of evaluating communication and feeding/swallowing skills and addressing areas of concern based on developmental norms and functional needs.
JMCC is committed to continued education for therapists to ensure they provide quality, up to date services to our clients and their families.
