Speech-language Pathology
"If all my possessions were taken from me with one exception, I
would choose to keep the power of communication, for by it I would soon regain
all the rest" . . . . . Daniel Webster
Language is our most human characteristic. It is essential to learning, working, and enjoying family life and friendships. There are many ways to express language. Speaking, using sign language, writing, and using computerized communication devices are some of the most common ones. The professionals who are educated to assess speech and language development and to treat language and speech disorders are speech-language pathologists (sometimes informally referred to as speech therapists). Speech-language pathologists can also help people with swallowing disorders.
