About Us
For over 40+ years, we have provided superior clinical services respected by physicians, dentists, orthodontists and other members of the healthcare community. We have worked closely with local hospitals, school districts, and Head Start programs in the greater Miami Valley area. We were previously part of Audiology & Speech Associates of Dayton, but when Dr. Robert Glaser sold the audiology practice to Dr. Stephanie McGuire, we now practice under the name Speech & Language Associates of Dayton.
We provide diagnostic and therapy for the entire spectrum of communication disorders; articulation / phonology, language, autism, pragmatics, literacy skills, stuttering, voice and orofacial myology.
All of our speech-language pathologists are licensed by the Ohio Board of Speech-Language Pathology and Audiology and certified by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. They each have outstanding credentials and experience in their respective areas of expertise.
Successful outcomes for the children and adults that we serve have always been our hallmark.
