As part of our advocacy, #OneAccessibility, we shall share information about disability issues, inclusion, and/or accessibility features on Maps. Look out every week for this enlightening post.

I will do my best to highlight Beaumont Hospital in Taylor. This hospital is only 5 minutes away from where I live by car. You can check their website [here].
One of their services that I would like to highlight is their department for speech or language photology and audiology. There is more than just a hospital: Emergency Care is open 24/7, orthopedic surgery, mental health services, a pain management clinic, physical medicine, and inpatient rehabilitation and full-service radiology with advanced CT and MRI.
It originally opened its doors in 1977 and became part of Beaumont Health in September 2014. This hospital is very accessible for PwPds, the wheelchair is available upon request. Parking for disabled people and expectant mothers is close to the building.
Their speech and language pathology programs are considered the largest and the most extensive in the country.
Do you know that their department has over 60 speech and language pathologists for patients with communication disabilities to achieve their communication goals who work in their acute care, outpatient rehab and conduct, and inpatient rehab? They provide the service for adults, adolescents, and children who have a loss of communication.
“To best serve you, our services are divided into:
Adult Services
Our programs deal with communication disorders resulting from brain injury, voice problems, swallowing disorders, or oral motor dysfunction.
Adolescent Services
Our Program is designed to treat the needs of pre-teens through young adults who are experiencing communication difficulties.
Pediatric Services
We use advanced techniques to help achieve maximum communication capability, functional capacity, and social potential.”
The hospital locations also varied per your need.
If you know of any accessible health clinic or hospital in your area or you have happened to experience such a clinic or hospital treatment please share your experience with us.
