EXAMPLES OF CONDITIONS TREATED
Individuals who may benefit from speech therapy experience cognitive deficits (i.e. loss of memory, problem solving skills) or the inability to communicate effectively (i.e. the ability to comprehend or express oral or written language) and the articulation of words. One’s ability to swallow also falls under the scope of practice for a Speech Therapist. For example, if left untreated, a person who has a condition in which the ability to chew and swallow food safely is affected, may run a higher risk of choking when eating or drinking.
Some examples of conditions that Speech Language Pathologists will treat via evidence-based interventions:
Dysphagia - Difficulty swallowing
Aphasia - Loss of ability to understand or express speech caused by brain damage
Apraxia - Motor planning to perform tasks or movements
HOW OUR PHYSICAL THERAPISTS ARE QUALIFIED
Speech language pathologists are licensed health care professionals with a Master’s or Doctorate degree in speech language pathology. All therapists must pass a test with a score determined by the state in which they take the exam; all speech language pathologists must be licensed in the state in which they practice.
