Speech-language pathologist Created 2026-10-25 Updated 2026-11-05
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]
