About Franciscan St Francis Speech

Franciscan Health offers outpatient speech therapy for people with communication, cognitive, feeding, and swallowing needs. The website describes care for both adults and children, including pediatric services for infants through adolescence and, at some locations, children up to age 21. Services include evaluation and treatment for receptive and expressive language difficulties, cognitive deficits, dysphagia, voice problems, fluency concerns such as stuttering, apraxia, speech sound and articulation challenges, social communication issues, and pediatric feeding or swallowing needs. The site also notes support for nonverbal communication through sign language and augmentative and alternative communication tools such as picture boards and electronic devices.

Franciscan Health says its speech therapy programs are built around individualized goals for the patient and family. Treatment plans are described as customized and guided by current medical evidence, with one-on-one care and collaboration across disciplines when needed, including work with audiology, registered dietitians, and rehabilitation teams. Pediatric care is presented as family-centered and coordinated with caregivers, school-based therapists, and referring providers. The website says treatment often begins with an evaluation, followed by goal setting and a therapy plan that may include play-based sessions, coaching, and home exercises. Franciscan Health publishes speech therapy availability across multiple outpatient rehabilitation locations in Indiana and Illinois, including Crown Point, Schererville, Michigan City, Carmel, Indianapolis, Crawfordsville, Lafayette, Homewood, and Olympia Fields, with some sites highlighting neuro-focused rehabilitation and pediatric speech therapy services.
