About Speech/Language Pathologists

Speech/language pathologists use qualitative and quantitative assessment methods, including standardized tests, as well as special instruments, to analyze and diagnose the nature and extent of speech, language, and swallowing impairments.

Speech/language pathologists develop an individualized plan of care, tailored to each patient’s needs.

For individuals with little or no speech capability, speech/language pathologists may select augmentative or alternative communication methods, including automated devices and sign language, and teach their use.

They teach these individuals how to make sounds, improve their voices, or increase their oral or written language skills to communicate more effectively.

They also teach individuals how to strengthen muscles or use compensatory strategies to swallow without choking or inhaling food or liquid.

Speech/language pathologists help patients develop, or recover, reliable communication and swallowing skills so patients can fulfill their educational, vocational, and social roles.
