AUDIOLOGOPEDICAL CENTER

The Audiologopedic Center is concerned with the evaluation and treatment of high and low-complexity communicative-linguistic disorders of logopedic relevance in developmental and adult age.

The logopedic service has been operating since 1999 within the Deaf Institute of Turin as a center specialized in the treatment of deafness, combining decades of educational tradition with modern approaches to deaf rehabilitation (oralism, bimodalism, auditory-verbal therapies, ...).

- Speech disorders (dyslalia and phonological disorders)

- Swallowing disorders (atypical swallowing and dysphagia)
