What to expect at your first appointment
When you arrive for the initial evaluation, our speech-language pathologists will conduct an evaluation to assess for weaknesses and determine the best possible treatment plan. Based on assessment results and your input, our speech-language pathologist will design a treatment plan to improve your communication or swallowing skills.
Our highly trained licensed speech-language pathologists at FYZICAL Cordele have expertise in all of these areas and can help you achieve your communication goals. We hold certifications in different specialty areas such as LSVT LOUD.
