What is speech pathology?

Speech pathology is the assessing, diagnosing, and treating of various communication disorders as well as issues relating to eating and swallowing.

Speech therapy includes helping clients to speak, listen, read, write, and understand. From stutters to non-verbal children with autism, as well as development delays as a result of injury, disease or old age, our speech pathologists are here to help with it all.

What do speech pathologists do?

Speech pathologists use a wide range of testing techniques, methods, and therapy activities to both understand their clients’ communication and speech issues and propose helpful therapy.
