:: About Our Program

UT Southwestern Medical Center provides expert and compassionate care for individuals with voice, speech, language and swallowing impairments.  We provide comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services to our patients.  Our specialists also provide special care and expertise for those patients with impairments related to head and neck cancer, or to neurological problems.

UT Southwestern’s speech and language pathologists work with patients one-on-one and give them the undivided attention they need to make progress in overcoming their difficulties. Our specialists teach patients valuable techniques and strategies to better engage in everyday conversations. Our specialists also discuss with patients’ families how therapy works to improve the patient’s skills, as well as actions family members can take to help.

At UT Southwestern, our specialists are sensitive to the special needs of speech-impaired and language-impaired individuals. By working to develop a rapport with each patient, our specialists help establish an environment that contributes to the patient’s success and improves his or her outlook on the future
