A Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) is the team member who provides assessment and treatment for issues related to voice, communication, and swallowing. Individuals and families may seek support from an SLP in the following areas:

Speech clarity
Voice (ie. quiet voice or pitch, quality issues)
Changes to your ability to read or write
Comprehension of what others are saying
Word finding issues (struggling to find the right word)
Memory or other cognitive concerns
Participating in conversation
Social language skills
Effective and safe swallowing

The SLP works with family members to establish shared goals and to discuss supports that will enhance speech, language, communication or swallowing skills at home and in the community.
