Darcy M. Abrams, CCC-SLP

At Rusk Rehabilitation at NYU Langone Ambulatory Care Center East 38th Street, I provide neurological rehabilitation services to adults with brain injuries resulting from trauma, stroke, brain tumors, brain surgery, neurodegenerative disease, or brain or neurological infection. As a licensed speech–language pathologist and certified brain injury specialist, I work with individuals to improve language comprehension and expression, speech intelligibility, and cognitive skills, with an emphasis on individualized, functional transference to daily life.

I work with the Concussion Center, providing speech and cognitive therapy to individuals as they return to their personal and work responsibilities. Additionally, I treat swallowing disorders (dysphagia) and voice disorders resulting from vocal trauma or misuse, and have experience in tracheostomy management. I am a certified Lee Silverman Voice Treatment (LSVT) specialist and a certified orofacial myofunctional therapist. I obtained my bachelor of arts from SUNY Polytechnic Institute and my master of science in communication science and disorders from Teachers College, Columbia University.
