WHY SILVA CLINIC
At Silva Clinic we are always building connections.
We believe every individual has the potential to improve cognition, communication, and feeding abilities when provided with the optimal evidence-based approaches paired with the kindness, professionalism and care of our dedicated clinicians.
We believe in treating the cognitive processes impacting the cornerstone of cognition, communication, and feeding skills. We work on establishing, developing, and affirming the foundational skills to support the knowledge, skills, and confidence every individual needs to obtain the highest functional level to succeed in life.
WHAT TO EXPECT
The initial appointment(s) will consist of an evaluation to determine the patient's cognitive, communication, and feeding skills. Our speech-language pathologists will determine the strengths and weaknesses in each area. Working together as a team, patient, family, and clinician will develop the optimal plan of care to create desirable, realistic outcomes. Patient and family will receive individual and/or group intervention, education, and training on the approaches utilized during treatment. Clinicians assess or reevaluate patient progress for further treatment or discharge.
