speech therapy at Haven Health
At Haven Health, we understand that the healing process after an illness or medical procedure in the hospital can be challenging without the right resources. The best environment for a full and speedy recovery is one that provides everything patients need all in one place. That’s where we can help.
what is Speech Therapy?
Injuries, strokes and other impairments can make it difficult to speak or even swallow. We know how heartbreaking and frustrating it can be for patients who struggle to be understood. That’s why at Haven Health, our caring professionals surround patients with compassionate experts and a healing environment to help them rebuild the essential abilities they need to communicate.
Our caring professionals offer speech-language pathology and therapy to assess patients’ needs and provide effective treatment. With special speech rehabilitation services, our team can help patients:
- Increase their ability to articulate words and be understood.
- Increase their ability to understand others in social conversations.
- Improve difficulty in following conversations by developing strategies to improve memory for Activities of Daily Living (ADLs).
- Increase safety awareness during ADLs to decrease risk of injury in social situations.
- Improve their ability to safely swallow and reduce coughing and choking while eating and drinking.
We can help patients build a plan to help restore speaking and swallowing functions with safe and effective speech therapies. Contact our team to learn more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does speech therapy actually work?
Speech and language therapy can be highly beneficial, especially when you’re talking about speech therapy for kids. It can improve fluency and articulation (the ability to pronounce words clearly), develop language skills, increase social skills, and decrease frustration.
What is the cost of speech therapy?
The average cost of speech therapy is $100-$250 per session, with most insurance companies covering at least part of the cost. Depending on the speech therapy center, many therapists offer sliding scale fees based on income, making it more affordable.
What happens during speech therapy?
Techniques may vary in speech therapy for adults and speech therapy for children. However, the basics are that patients learn how to produce sounds, improve their articulation, and increase their vocal volume. Speech therapy activities also focus on receptive language skills, such as understanding what others are saying, and expressive language skills, such as putting their thoughts into words. In addition, they work on social skills, such as turn-taking and conversation starters.
