Who are they?
A speech-language pathologist is a professional educated in
the study of human communication, its development and
disorders. By evaluating the speech and language skills of
children and adults, the speech therapist determines if
communication problems exist and decides the best way to
treat them.
What do they do?
Speech therapists' services include evaluation,
identification, treatment and rehabilitation of an
individual's communication skills. They also evaluate and
treat swallowing dysfunctions.
Who do they work with?
Speech-language pathologists work with people who have
difficulty speaking clearly or are unable to speak at all.
They also assist people who have difficulty swallowing and
eating. In addition, speech therapists focus on cognition,
memory, reading and writing skills as they relate to
communicating.
