University of Maryland Medical Center Outpatient Rehabilitation Services provides assessment and treatment of various speech, language, cognitive and swallowing disorders.
Therapists utilize a wide variety of treatment approaches to address the needs of each individual patient.
We work with children and adults to improve:
- Physical speaking abilities
- Language expression and understanding
- Swallowing function
- Cognitive skills
This allows increased independence for participation in activities of daily living across settings (home, community, work, and school).
