The Division of Speech-Language Pathology at UPMC

Our goal at the Division of Speech-Language Pathology is to provide the highest quality of care for people who have speech, language, voice, and swallowing disorders.

We do this by working closely with ear, nose, and throat doctors at the UPMC Voice Center and the UPMC Swallowing Disorders Center.

The team at UPMC's Division of Speech-Language Pathology offers:

• Inpatient and outpatient speech-language pathology care — treatments and programs for a diverse patient population at several UPMC hospitals.
• Voice rehabilitation — care and education to restore verbal communication and improve quality of life following a total laryngectomy.
• Foreign accent modification — a 13-week program for people whose foreign accents affect their communication in work and social settings.

Our speech-language pathology experts all have:

• Master's degrees.
• Certification from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
