Speech-Language Pathology

Speech-language pathology is a field of health care that works to assess, diagnose, and treat people with speech, language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders. Speech-language pathologists specialize in working with children and adults with communication disorders such as articulation, stuttering, voice, and fluency. They also work to help people with language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing disorders. Speech-language pathology services can help improve language, communication, and swallowing skills, which can lead to improved functional communication for those affected. Speech-language pathologists also provide counseling and support to those who have communication disorders and their families. Through speech-language pathology, individuals can work to reduce the barriers to communication and increase their overall quality of life.
