Janna Shaw, MS, CCC-SLP/L Licensed Speech Language Pathologist

ALMH's speech pathologist specializes in the evaluation and treatment of a variety of communication and feeding disorders.

Communication-based programs help children produce speech that is easy to understand, to express their thoughts, ideas and needs and to understand language.

Voice programs help reduce vocal abuse behaviors and reduce damage to the vocal cords.

Feeding programs address on swallowing/ oral issues, helping you or your child safely accept a wider range of tastes and textures of foods to achieve optimal nutrition.

Speech therapy programs can also help when injury or illness affects your ability to speak or swallow or impacts your memory or problem-solving abilities.

• Conducting an evaluation to identify problems
• Customizing a treatment program to address your needs
• Providing therapy services to help you meet your goals
