Baylor offers traditional outpatient therapies such as physical, occupational and speech-language therapy, as well as day treatment programs, community-based programs and services, and assessment and treatment by physicians and neuropsychologists. 

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy incorporates meaningful and purposeful therapies to enable people with limitations or impairments to participate in everyday life. Occupational therapy gives people the necessary skills for living life to the fullest.

Pediatric Therapy

As part of our comprehensive continuum of care, we offer outpatient services for children from birth to 18 years of age with a wide variety of diagnoses including neurological, orthopaedic and developmental disorders.

Physical Therapy

We provide services to individuals to develop, maintain and restore maximum movement and functional ability throughout life. This includes providing services in circumstances where movement and function are threatened by aging, injury, disease or environmental factors.

Speech Therapy

Providing prevention, screening, consultation, assessment and diagnosis, treatment, intervention, management, counseling, and follow-up services for disorders of speech, language, swallowing and cognitive aspects of communication.

Therapeutic Recreation

The primary purposes of this type of treatment are to restore, remediate or rehabilitate in order to improve functioning and independence as well as reduce or eliminate the effects of illness or disability.

Assessment & Evaluation Services

Communication Disorders Program

Speech and hearing assessments are conducted to determine therapy needs as well as the need for palatal lifts or surgical interventions to help improve the communication abilities of patients. An augmentative communication specialist is also available to evaluate the patient if assistive technology is needed.

Dysphagia Management

Patients with swallowing difficulties are evaluated to determine the cause of the problem and to determine treatment options. These services include dysphagiagrams (modified barium swallow studies), FEES (fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing) and DPNS (deep pharyngeal neuromuscular stimulation) and are coordinated by speech therapy and radiology.

Neuropsychological Evaluation

This evaluation provides a thorough assessment of cognitive/perceptual skills such as reasoning, problem solving, memory, insight, attention and comprehension. The results of the evaluation reveal a patient's cognitive strengths and weaknesses and provide important information about the patient's ability to resume activities such as driving, working and returning to school. The test results are then used to determine if treatment intervention is required, and if required, to set realistic outcome goals for the treatment.
