Speech and Language Pathology is a field focused on diagnosing and treating communication and swallowing disorders. Professionals in this area, known as Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs), work with individuals of all ages to improve their speech, language, and cognitive-communication skills. They address issues such as stuttering, voice disorders, and difficulties with understanding or producing language. SLPs also help people with swallowing difficulties, known as dysphagia, which can occur due to various medical conditions. Treatment may involve exercises, strategies, and the use of assistive technology to enhance communication and ensure safe swallowing. Overall, this field plays a crucial role in improving quality of life for those with communication challenges.
