The Speech-Language Pathologist is trained to identify and treat developmental and acquired disorders of communication, including all areas of spoken and written language. This encompasses a large number of skill areas in both verbal and auditory processes including articulation, fluency, voice, word retrieval and vocabulary development, verbal formulation, social use of language and listening. Written language refers to skills such as reading comprehension, spelling and written expression. Problem areas are treated to optimize functioning and participation in all areas of the individual’s life: social, academic and vocational. Both skill building and strategy development are methods utilized to achieve success.
