Speech Language Pathology
Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) equip individuals with strategies to improve challenges associated with communication and swallowing disorders or impairments. SLPs can treat individuals with physical, verbal, or cognitive exercises to improve atypical speech and language development, and/or aid in issues with feeding and swallowing. They can assist individuals of various ages with differing causes of impairment, for example, children with delayed speech development, or adult stroke victims re-learning how to swallow food can both be helped by SLPs.
