Speech Loss and Speech Therapy

Speech therapy is the treatment of communication impairments and swallowing disorders. Speech therapy services facilitate the development and maintenance of human communication and swallowing through assessment, diagnosis, and rehabilitation. Speech therapists treat disorders resulting from illness, trauma, disease, or congenital anomaly including: language, speech articulation and voice disorders; oral pharyngeal dysfunction and related disorders; and cognitive/communication disorders.

Physical impairments for which speech therapy services may be considered medically necessary include:

Brain injury or insult due to cerebrovascular accident or trauma
Inability to speak due to stroke
Structural anomalies related to cleft palate and cleft lip
Neuromuscular disorders such as cerebral palsy
Sensorineural hearing loss
Dysfunction occurring as a result of a therapeutic process such as vocal cord surgery, laryngectomy, radiation therapy, or ototoxic medication
Oral motor apraxia, confirmed by the following diagnostic elements:
- Standardized testing of receptive and expressive language skills
- Standardized articulation testing, including a conversational intelligibility sample
- Diadochokinetic testing
- Oral motor examination including assessment of range of motion, strength, impaired coordination, groping, and oral management of food
Hearing loss or impairment meeting all of the following criteria:
- Attributed to medically documented chronic middle ear effusion occurring during the formative years of speech (through age 3)
- No less than 3 months history of flat tympanograms or abnormal pneumatic otoscopy
- Documented hearing loss greater than or equal to 25dB in the speech range of 500-2000 Hertz
