Hello and welcome to the Marigold Speech Pathology Services LLC blog! We're thrilled to introduce you to our practice and share how we can support you and your loved ones in achieving optimal communication and swallowing health.


About Us

Founded in 2022, Marigold Speech Pathology Services LLC is a proudly female-owned private practice based in Janesville, WI. With a strong commitment to personalized care, our team are here to support clients of all ages in their journey toward better communication and swallowing abilities.


Our Services

At Marigold Speech Pathology Services, we offer a range of specialized services designed to meet the diverse needs of our clients:

  • Speech Therapy: Our tailored therapy sessions focus on improving articulation, fluency, and overall speech clarity to help clients communicate more effectively.

  • Language Therapy: We work with individuals to enhance vocabulary, grammar, and comprehension, supporting language development and understanding at every stage of life, whether its a rehabilitative or habilitative need.

  • Augmentative & Alternative Communication: Our clinicians have specialized experience in the establishment and use of AAC to support our clients with complex communication needs. We guide our clients through the evaluation and application process to obtain a custom AAC system that meets their specific needs. Then we work with clients and families to implement functional use of their system in their daily lives.

  • Voice Therapy: For those experiencing voice disorders or looking to improve vocal quality, our voice therapy services are designed to promote vocal health and performance.

  • Feeding and Swallowing Therapy: We address challenges related to eating and swallowing through personalized strategies and interventions. Our services encompass all types of dysphagia for individuals of all ages, including infants, children, and adults. We work to ensure safe and enjoyable mealtimes by evaluating and managing issues such as difficulty swallowing, food aversion, and aspiration risks. Our tailored plans aim to improve feeding efficiency and comfort, helping you achieve better swallowing function and a more satisfying dining experience.


Mobile FEES Services

To enhance accessibility, we offer mobile Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallwoing (FEES) services that bring our expertise directly to your facility. We will travel to locations such as skilled nursing facilities or rural hospitals to perform comprehensive instrumental swallow evaluations using gold standard techniques. Mobile FEES offers significant cost benefits, improved quality of care, and a reduction in hospitalization for patients with swallowing disorders. By bringing the evaluation directly to your rehab facility or rural hospital, mobile FEES eliminates the need for costly hospital-based studies, reducing expenses for both healthcare providers and patients. This portable approach allows for timely and accurate assessment, leading to quicker treatment plans that improve patient outcomes. Additionally, early detection of aspiration or swallowing issues through mobile FEES helps prevent complications like pneumonia, which in turn reduces the likelihood of costly hospital readmissions. This combination of convenience, affordability, and enhanced care makes mobile FEES a a valuable tool in swallowing disorders management. Contact us today to organize a meeting and set up a contract to help your patients!


Outpatient Swallow Studies

In addition to mobile services, we conduct outpatient swallow studies at our clinic. Our outpatient swallow studies use Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) which is a highly effective convenient option for assessing swallowing physiology. FEES offers a thorough evaluation without the need for radiation, making it a safe and practical choice for diagnosis in and treating swallowing disorders. Our state-of-the-art facilities are equipped to provide thorough and precise assessments.
