SPEECH THERAPY
The Dearborn County
Hospital Speech Therapy Department provides comprehensive care for
people of all ages, including pediatrics. Conditions requiring
speech therapy may have existed from birth or resulted from a
developmental delay, illness, disease or accident. People who
have suffered a stroke, head injury or have Parkinson's Disease are
examples of those who may be appropriate for speech therapy.
Deficits treated range from articulation and language delays in
children to difficulty speaking and memory loss in adults.
The Speech Therapy
Department is committed to helping people with communication,
cognitive and swallowing disorders through individualized evaluation
and treatment. DCH speech therapists are licensed and
certified and devoted to providing the highest level of care.
Patients and their loved ones are included in care planning and

OCCUPATIONAL
THERAPY
Occupational Therapy (OT) is a health
and rehabilitation profession designed to help people regain skills that are important for health, well-being, security and
happiness. Occupational Therapists (OTs) work with people of
all ages who because of physical, developmental, social or
emotional deficits, need specialized assistance in learning skills
to enable them to lead independent, productive and satisfying lives. OTs are uniquely qualified to provide individuals with equipment
that promotes the highest degree of functional independence in daily
living. The Occupational Therapy Department at DCH continues
to expand to provide outpatients the highest quality of care
possible.
Occupational therapy provides services
to inpatients, outpatients, Subacute residents, home health and
hospice patients as well as pediatric patients. First Steps OT
is one program available for children from birth to age three.
The DCH OT department has greatly expanded its comprehensive upper
extremity rehabilitation program with the addition of the BTE Work
Simulator II. The BTE is used to simulate numerous
work-related tasks to design a rehabilitation program specific to
our patient's needs.
The DCH Occupational Therapy staff uses
the following skilled interventions to treat a broad spectrum of
patient diagnoses:
• Activities of Daily Living (ADL)
Retraining
• Adaptive Equipment Training
• Home Environmental Assessments
• Upper Extremity Splinting
• Therapeutic Exercise and Therapeutic Activity
• Neuromuscular Re-education
• Hot and Cold Packs
• Iontophoresis
• Electrical Stimulation
• Work Simulation
• Energy Conservation/Work Simplification
For more information, please contact the
department at
