What Is SLP (Speech Language Pathology)?
Speech language pathology is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a speech language pathologist (SLP), also called speech and language therapist, or speech therapist. The speech language pathologist will assess, diagnose, treat, and help clients overcome barriers to communication, speech, language and swallowing/eating/feeding. Our speech language pathologist is a specialist in caring for children and adolescents, and will assess your child in relation to typical development and skills for children their age. The speech language pathologist incorporates the principles of evidence-based practice in clinical decision making to provide high quality clinical care. The speech language pathologist is an essential team member of the multidisciplinary team. The speech language pathologist collaborates with audiologists, physicians, dentists, occupational therapists, dietitians, educators, behavior consultants, and parents based on the individual client’s needs.
