Center for Communication Disorders

The CCD is invested in improving the access to high quality, integrated services in feeding and swallowing disorders Services are often splintered between multiple providers and access to those providers can be limited by distance, access to public transportation, and long waiting lists . Communication barriers due to reduced healthcare literacy and language differences can further impact compliance with recommendations for healthy intake of food and liquid .

To meet the needs of community members facing these challenges, the CCD is looking for partners to help others provide access to instrumental assessment of swallowing within our clinic and through a mobile service . Please review the list of items we are need of in the chart below .

Please consider joining us in reducing the poor health outcomes and unnecessary delays in service delivery for the underserved members of our community .
