Speech-language pathologists work with people who cannot produce
speech sounds, or cannot produce them clearly; those with speech rhythm
and fluency problems, such as stuttering; people with voice disorders,
such as inappropriate pitch or harsh voice; those with problems
understanding and producing language; those who wish to improve their
communication skills by modifying an accent; and those with cognitive
communication impairments, such as attention, memory, and problem
solving disorders. They also work with people who have swallowing
difficulties.
Speech, language, and swallowing difficulties can result from a
variety of causes including stroke, brain injury or deterioration,
developmental delays or disorders, learning disabilities, cerebral
palsy, cleft palate, voice pathology, mental retardation, hearing loss,
or emotional problems. Problems can be congenital, developmental, or
acquired. Speech-language pathologists use qualitative and quantitative
assessment methods, including standardized tests, as well as special
instruments, to analyze and diagnose the nature and extent of speech,
language, and swallowing impairments. Speech-language pathologists
develop an individualized plan of care, tailored to each patient’s
needs. For individuals with little or no speech capability,
speech-language pathologists may select augmentative or alternative
communication methods, including automated devices and sign language,
and teach their use. They teach these individuals how to make sounds,
improve their voices, or increase their oral or written language skills
to communicate more effectively. They also teach individuals how to
strengthen muscles or use compensatory strategies to swallow without
choking or inhaling food or liquid. Speech-language pathologists help
patients develop, or recover, reliable communication and swallowing
skills so patients can fulfill their educational, vocational, and social
roles.
