Speech-language pathology is a field that focuses on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of communication and swallowing disorders. Speech-language pathologists work with individuals of all ages who have difficulties in areas such as speech production, language comprehension and expression, voice quality, fluency, and swallowing. They play a critical role in helping individuals improve their communication skills, regain speech and language abilities after injury or illness, and address difficulties related to swallowing and feeding. Speech-language pathology also encompasses research aimed at advancing our understanding of communication and swallowing disorders, as well as developing new techniques and technologies to improve treatment outcomes.
