Speech Therapy

Your Michigan Answer for Speech Therapy 

Communication is a vital form of self-expression. When you have difficulties speaking, swallowing, or using language, it’s harder to show your real self to the world. You don’t have to live that way.   

At U-M Health, we understand these deeply personal challenges. For almost 50 years, we’ve helped our patients reclaim their voices and their confidence. Whether you're recovering from an injury or managing a genetic condition or disease, we have the expertise to help.

As a leader in advancing diagnosis and treatments for people with communication and/or swallowing difficulties, we don’t just treat symptoms. We collaborate with your entire medical team to deliver care that evolves with your needs. 

We’ll start with a close assessment of your speech, language or swallowing abilities. Then, our ASHA-certified speech-language pathologists work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. This may include targeted therapy for autism, brain injury, transgender speech, head and neck cancer, singing and more. 

Find your voice again, with U-M Health, the pioneers of speech and swallowing care.
