We conduct assessment and provide therapy in individual or group basis in both inpatient and outpatient settings. If clinically indicated, instrumental assessment (e.g. fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing and videofluoroscopic swallowing study) will be carried out.

We collaborate with various clinical specialties such as cardiology, surgery, oncology and intensive care units through clinical rounds and multi-disciplinary clinics, when need for communication and swallowing management arises. We also actively participate in related clinical research.
