Speaking, hearing and understanding are basic to human communication. Difficulty in one or more of these areas can interfere with a person's ability to communicate. Children with problems in speaking, hearing or understanding often experience problems in social situations and in school. Adults unable to communicate may find it difficult to sustain employment and maintain social relationships.

At our state-of-the art Downtown Brooklyn Speech-Language-Hearing Clinic we provide evaluation and treatment for people of all ages with speech-language, swallowing and/or hearing problems.
