Introduction
In the United States, 10% of adults and children live with a speech-language disorder or delay. For some, their speech-language difficulties have little impact on their lives. But for most, especially children, an untreated speech-language disorder can lead to difficulties in school, social isolation and progressive learning disabilities. Intervention by a certified speech-language pathologist can have a significant impact on the quality of speech and communication—and the quality of life—for most patients and their families.
The Hearing and Speech Agency evaluates and treats clients of all ages. Because of staff expertise and sophisticated technology, we can offer a variety of options for overcoming problems involving:
- Speech/articulation
- Oral-motor abilities
- Auditory processing
- Stuttering
- Language learning abilities
- Language-based reading difficulties
- Therapy related to cochlear implants and/or hearing loss
- Auditory/oral therapy
- Accent modification
Our speech-language pathologists and audiologists are certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and are licensed by the Maryland Board of Examiners for Audiologists, Hearing Aid Dispensers and Speech-Language Pathologists.
