What is speech-language pathology?

Speech Pathology is a profession that evaluates, diagnoses, and treats speech, language, and swallowing disorders.

In the United States, over 135,000 speech-language pathologists (SLP) are represented by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA: www.asha.org). This organization advocates evidence-based professional practice and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration with other professionals.

Speech-language pathologists:

  • Provide assessment, intervention, and prevention services to individuals of all ages
  • Collaborate with other professionals to offer a team approach to assessment and treatment
  • Work in a variety of settings including schools, universities, hospitals, clinics, nursing care facilities, government agencies, business & industry
