Speech Pathologists

Speech disorders affect children from an early age, or may develop later in life as a result of trauma or injury. Speech therapists are specially trained in helping individuals correct speech disorders and speak clearly. Speech disorders can be embarrassing for those that suffer from them, but regular sessions with a qualified speech therapist can improve speaking and help the patient to communicate more effectively.

Speech therapists, also known as speech language pathologists, or SLPs, are educated in human communications, speech and speech related disorders. They require a master’s degree and state certification and a certificate of clinical competency from the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. An SLP can diagnose and treat patients with various speech, oral and swallowing related disorders.
