A speech-language pathologist applies knowledge about communication and swallowing to assessment, intervention and research. The work can include language disorder, speech production or dysphagia, with the relevant tasks depending on the person and setting. Comparing comprehension, production and functional communication prevents one test score from being treated as a complete description of everyday communication. Professional titles and service arrangements vary between jurisdictions. [ref]
Scope of Practice in Speech-Language Pathology by ASHA. 2016, definition and domains of professional practice
A researcher who investigated relationships between specific language impairment and dyslexia. A longitudinal study compared language and reading profiles, with separate analysis of phonological skills. The work tests whether the conditions are identical, distinct or overlapping, rather than inferring a single explanation from low performance on one measure.[ref]
