Gone were the days when revolutionary therapeutic interventions are just a pipe dream. When the late US President Franklin Roosevelt was struck with poliomyelitis, he managed to survive and regain his muscular function with the help of physical therapy. Prior to this, decrease in mortality only increased the rate of disability or handicap.

The Speech Therapy section provides evaluation of cognitive and communication impairments as it treats both adults and children with voice, articulation, hearing and language problems. The different sections realize its multi-disciplinary approach with the implementation of their interrelated functions.
