Pediatric Speech Therapy
The speech-language pathologists at Monroe Carell can evaluate and treat your child with communication disorders. They also offer services for feeding and swallowing disorders.
Our faculty members also work with the Pediatric Aerodigestive Clinic to evaluate and care for chronically ill children with complex airway (voice box, windpipe), pulmonary (lung), upper digestive tract (esophagus, stomach), sleep and feeding disorders.
We provide all other outpatient speech-language pathology services through the Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center.
