Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), who are often informally known as speech therapists, are professionals educated in the study of human communication, its development, and its disorders. They hold at least a Master’s Degree and state certification/licensure in the field, as well as a Certificate of Clinical Competent (CCC) from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
By assessing the speech, language, cognitive-communication, and swallowing skills of children and adults, speech-language pathologists can determine what types of communication problems exist and the best way to treat these challenges.
Speech-language pathologists typically treat problems in the areas of articulation, receptive and expressive language, disfluency, oral-motor, voice, and swallowing disorders.
Speech-language therapy involves having a speech-language specialist work with a child or adult on a one-to-one or small group basis to remediate difficulties involved with a specific disorder using a variety of research-based therapeutic interventions or strategies.
