Therapies & Treatments
Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are licensed communication experts. They identify and treat a variety of speech, hearing and feeding difficulties across a clients lifespan.
Speech Sounds
SLPs can help patients improve one (or more) specific sounds in their speech patterns, correcting issues like lisps.
Fluency
Not to be confused with literacy, fluency describes how smoothly people can speak without stumbling or stuttering.
Social Communications
SLPs can help people who don’t readily understand social cues and other communication behaviors learn how to better engage and connect with others.
Language
Language describes the extent to which we understand what we hear and speak. Aphasia is one example of a language disorder that SLPs can assist with.
Voice and Vocal Hygiene
SLPs can help people who quickly grow hoarse or lose their voices improve their speaking techniques to prevent future injuries.
Literacy
SLPs often diagnose disorders among people who are having trouble speaking, reading or writing in their native language.
