Understanding Difficulties with Speech, Language, Voice, and Swallowing

Normal speech communication—the seemingly effortless exchange of information and thoughts—and swallowing—a fundamental life-sustaining process that occurs almost without notice as we eat, drink, and sleep—are, in reality, very complex processes.

However, many disorders disrupt communication and/or swallowing and cause serious problems.

The UI Speech and Swallowing Service staff includes speech-language pathologists certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and licensed by the state of Iowa. The staff works closely with physicians and other health care professionals—at UI Hospitals and Clinics as well as in the patient’s community—to provide effective management of speech, language, voice, and swallowing disorders.
