Communication with others is the key to personal success and realizing one’s own potential. The STAR Center has a speech-language pathologist on staff to help people communicate, including:
- Helping children with speech delays.
- Correcting articulation problems (e.g. “wabbit”)
- Reduction of stuttering, mumbling and other fluency problems.
- Speech devices, including eye gaze technologies.
- Safety while eating or swallowing.
