A Speech Pathologist can help with speech, language and literacy difficulties, help children develop their ability to communicate, and they can also help with feeding or swallowing problems. They also help people find the best way to communicate to meet their needs. This might include strategies to improve how clearly or fluently they speak and may include forms of assisted communication, like signs, symbols and gestures.
Speech Pathologists can work with children including those who have genetic conditions, deafness and hearing loss, autism, cerebral palsy or intellectual disability.
