We are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience. To do so, we are actively working with consultants to update the website by increasing its accessibility and usability by persons who use assistive technologies
such as automated tools, keyboard-only navigation, and screen readers.
We are working to have the website conform to the relevant standards of the Section 508 Web Accessibility Standards developed by the United States Access Board, as
well as the World Wide Web Consortium's (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These standards and guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. We believe that conformance with these standards and
guidelines will help make the website more user friendly for all people.
Our efforts are ongoing. While we strive to have the website adhere to these guidelines and standards, it is not always possible to do so in all areas of the website.
If, at any time, you have specific questions or concerns about the accessibility of any particular webpage, please contact WebsiteAccess@tenethealth.com so that we may be of assistance.
From the time you utter your first word (perhaps ‘mama’) right up until you enter speech therapy, chances are you take your voice for granted. When you lose your voice, whether following a stroke or because of a stutter or learning disorder, our therapists are here to help you get it back, and make it stronger than ever.
You can feel confident choosing Coral Gables because our therapists understand how frustrating it can be when you’re unable to communicate what you think or want to the people around you, and they can give you the tools to help you fix or minimize the problem.
Some common speech and language disorders we treat include:
Speech issues, such as slurring, mutism, and aphasia
Stuttering
Voice problems resulting from laryngitis or throat cancer
Written language disorders
Thinking, memory and learning disorders
