Outpatient Services Available in Fishkill:

In providing outpatient speech therapy in Fishkill, SLP Communication Foundations are able to perform a multitude of instrumental and diagnostic testing modalities in order to enhance the patient experience.

FEES:

Flexible Endoscopic Evaluation of the Swallow (FEES) is an instrumental evaluation tool that assesses the motor components of swallowing for patients. FEES testing provides clinicians with data that aids in identifying patients at risk for aspiration and guides the clinician in recommending the most appropriate foods and liquids to a patient so that he or she can swallow safely. For more information, please visit our FEES page.

Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation:

Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (VitalStim) is therapy for patients who have trouble swallowing (dysphagia). It uses small electrical currents to stimulate the muscles responsible for swallowing, while speech-language pathologists help patients re-educate their muscles through rehabilitation therapy.

Voice Evaluation and Treatment Programs:

Individually designed outpatient programs are available to alleviate voice problems associated with vocal nodules and polyps or with overuse/misuse of the voice.

The focus is multifaceted and incorporated education regarding strategies to minimize stuttering while speaking, including speaking more slowly, and regulating breathing, while also incorporating environmental influences on fluency.
