Speech Therapy
Working Through Speech Challenges
Gritman’s highly trained speech therapists can help you or your child develop or regain the ability to communicate. Our staff works with patients with a variety of conditions, such as augmentative and alternative communication, speech sound disorders and swallowing impairments. For younger patients, our pediatric specialists help children overcome developmental or speech delays and work through feeding disorders.
Our speech therapy team is also available during your stay at Gritman Medical Center. We believe immediate attention to your therapy needs is critical to recovery.

Speak Out!® Therapy Program for Parkinson's Patients
The Speak Out!® Therapy Program, developed by Parkinson Voice Project®, helps people with Parkinson’s and related neurological disorders regain and retain their speech and swallowing. This highly effective, evidence-based treatment combines education, individual and group speech therapy, daily home practice, and continuous follow-ups. Patients are empowered to “speak with intent,” “speak out,” and “speak with purpose,” transitioning their speech from an automatic function to an intentional act.
In addition to the social and practical boosts to quality of life that regaining and retaining speech abilities brings, Speak Out!® can help people with Parkinson’s reduce their risk for swallowing complications, which can account for 70% of the mortality rate in this patient population. Since the Speak Out!® Therapy Program exercises target the muscles used in both speech and swallowing, a major benefit to participation in the program is the growth and maintenance of the strength of these muscles.
