Speech-language pathology studies and addresses communication and swallowing difficulties across development and adult life. It connects language, speech production, hearing-related communication and the coordination of swallowing with assessment and intervention. A difficulty understanding sentences and a difficulty coordinating speech movements are different possible problems even when both affect conversation. Separating components helps identify what an assessment result or treatment outcome actually measures. [ref]
