Speech-Language Pathology

Diagnosis and Treatment of Speech and Language Disorders
The Warren Center offers professional diagnostic evaluations to clients of all ages for identification and treatment of communication disorders including:

• articulation disorders, such as the omission, substitution or distortion of speech sounds rendering speech difficult to understand, or affecting a person’s acceptance in society
• stuttering/dysfluency, the interruption of the rhythm or flow of speech, including hesitation, prolongation of sounds, and repetition of sounds or words
• language disorders, the delayed development or impairment of skills such as comprehension, expression, vocabulary, sentence structure and language processing
• swallowing disorders/dysphagia, ineffective swallowing patterns caused by immature development, neurological impairment or other conditions
• aphasia, loss of language and function as a result of brain damage

Group Speech Therapy for Children
This program for preschoolers is offered through the Warren Center. For many children with speech communication problems, a group environment presents the best opportunity to correct disorders. The preschool-like setting includes play, circle and snack times led by a speech language pathologist.
