Specialists focused on the Outcome of Treatment
Achieve Rehab Services
is a dedicated team of speech-language pathologists
serving the needs of facilities, schools, private clients, skilled nursing facilities and hospitals directly in Western Pennsylvania
as well as around the state and country with online speech training techniques.
We would be happy to meet with your facility manager, director, CFO or HR manager to discuss the possibility of providing speech pathology services for your rehabilitation institute, health care organization, corporation, university, program, school or medical facility. We deal with any and all personnel matters. Your staff can be assured that all speech pathology needs are being met.
We stress not just the medical and scientific aspects of clinical practice, but, just as importantly, professional collaboration and compassion to maximize effective communication skills, patient recovery, language proficiency and quality of life. We provide extensive education to our clients/patients, their families/caregivers and other associated medical/educational staff.
