Pediatric speech-language pathology

Also known as: Speech-language therapy, pediatric

Speech-language pathologists assess, diagnose, treat and help prevent speech, language and communication disorders.

Speech-language pathologists work with people who cannot make speech sounds or cannot make them clearly. They also work with those who have:

  • Speech rhythm and fluency problems, such as stuttering
  • Voice-quality problems, such as inappropriate pitch or harsh voice
  • Problems understanding and producing language
  • Cognitive communication problems, such as attention, memory and problem-solving disorders
  • Oral motor problems that cause eating and swallowing difficulties
