Speech Therapy

Helping Patients With Expert Speech-Language Pathology Services

McKenzie Health System’s speech-language therapy services assist those in the Sanilac County area who have difficulty with communicating, eating, and cognitive impairments for patients of all ages. Whether the problems are the result of an elderly adult with difficulty swallowing after an illness such as a stroke or other conditions or injuries which impact speech, we can help. We also help patients with difficulty communicating, which in turn enhances their quality of life.

Our highly knowledgeable speech therapists, also called speech-language pathologists (SLPs), can help patients:

• Improve oral-motor skills

• Put words together to formulate their thoughts with age-appropriate grammatical skills
• Be able to understand directions and language beyond their memorized routines
• Desensitize adults to their difficulties and instill confidence, trust, and self-esteem

Speech Therapy Services We Offer

Speech-language pathologists do much more than help patients with problems such as a lisp. Therapy for speech delays and disorders is just a small part of the services they provide.

McKenzie Speech Pathologists can help with:

• CVA/Stroke Rehabilitation
• Feeding and Swallowing Disorders (Dysphagia)
• Traumatic Brain Injury
• Speech Disorders
• Auditory Processing
• Fluency, Stuttering, Voice Impairment, and other
• Memory Loss, Naming, and Cognitive Impairments due to neurologic injury
• Articulation Disorders

Treatment with McKenzie Rehabilitation Services begins with a thorough evaluation by a licensed physical, occupational, or speech therapist. You will receive an explanation of your condition, a plan of treatment, and what you can expect from our skilled therapy services. We focus on the whole person rather than just focusing on the part of the body being treated. Our therapists are specially trained to offer individualized, goal-oriented treatment that employs hands-on techniques. We encourage our patients to be as involved as possible with their rehabilitation plan for optimal outcomes.
