What does a speech pathologist do?
A Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) who works in a school setting identifies, evaluates and treats students with speech and language problems.
Speech-Language pathologists may also work in other settings such as hospitals, private speech and hearing clinics, nursing homes, rehabilitation clinics, or do therapy in home settings.
