Integrated Services
To provide the highest quality care for individuals with speech, language and swallowing disorders, our specialty providers offer integrated services within the context of other MMI departments.
Some speech-language pathologists in MMI's Department of Speech-Language Pathology have specialized training to provide integrated services within other disciplines. This allows for collaboration between providers, development of a more comprehensive plan of care and increased convenience to patients and families.
Participating MMI departments include:
- integrated Center for Autism Spectrum Disorders.
- Pediatric Feeding Disorders.
- Severe Behavior Disorders.

This means they are likely to get more practice and they may make more progress than if services had been provided separately. Services may address articulation, language, Augmentative and Alternative Communication and/or social language skills.
