What does a Speech and Language Therapist do?

Speech-Language Pathology (SLP), also known as speech therapy, is a specialized field that focuses on diagnosing, assessing, and treating communication and swallowing disorders. Speech-language pathologists (SLPs), commonly referred to as speech therapists, work with individuals of all ages who experience difficulties in various aspects of communication, including speech production, language comprehension, expressive language, fluency, voice, and social communication.
