About Speech Therapy Services - Beverly Hospital

Beverly Hospital offers speech therapy as part of its rehabilitation services for people with communication, voice, memory, and swallowing concerns. The program states that its speech-language pathologists provide diagnostic testing and treatment for patients across the lifespan, from newborns through seniors. The hospital is based in Beverly, Massachusetts, and its rehabilitation program also lists outpatient centers in Beverly, Gloucester, and Danvers. Speech therapy is presented as part of a broader rehabilitation service that includes both hospital-based care and outpatient treatment.

The speech therapy service addresses a wide range of pediatric and adult needs. For children, the website highlights support for speech and language delays, articulation and phonological problems, childhood apraxia of speech, stuttering, autism spectrum disorders, processing disorders, hearing loss, developmental delays, social language difficulties, and receptive or expressive language challenges. It also notes experience with augmentative and alternative communication for children with significant communication delays. For adults, the service includes evaluation and treatment for aphasia, dysarthria, memory and cognitive disorders, voice disorders, and dysphagia. Beverly Hospital also describes specialty swallowing evaluations such as Modified Barium Swallow studies and Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing, along with diet modification guidance and safe swallowing strategies when needed.

Within rehabilitation, Beverly Hospital says patients typically see the same therapist throughout treatment, with the goal of supporting continuity and follow-up care. The broader rehab program also describes a team-based model in which therapy staff work with physicians, nurses, and case managers, and it notes that patient and family education and recommendations for ongoing care are part of the process. The site also features LSVT LOUD as a specialty voice therapy option for people with Parkinson’s disease and other neurological conditions affecting speech.
