Nation’s Largest Program Delivers High-Quality Care

The Division of Speech-Language Pathology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center is the largest pediatric speech-language pathology program in the nation. We are dedicated to providing high-quality services in everything we do, from initial scheduling to successful discharge of patients from our services.

We begin with a comprehensive evaluation. Based on the evaluation results, an individualized treatment plan is developed for the child, with input from the family. In each case, the speech-language pathologist involves the family in the treatment process to ensure not only the best treatment outcomes, but also a high level of family satisfaction with the process. Our efforts are also directed toward making the therapy a positive and enjoyable experience for the child.
