We very often come across people who have problems in speaking, writing, listening, reading, thinking and swallowing. While the reason for a person having such a problem could be anything, there are ways to get rid of the problem permanently. There are Speech Language Pathologists (SLPs) who offer Speech language pathology services. The speech language pathologists are professionals who are certified in health care and have a master’s or doctoral degree in speech language pathology service. The speech language pathologists should have completed post graduate clinical work and should also have passed a national examination.The speech language pathologists first try to identify the exact kind of communication problem that the person is facing by interacting and communicating with him. They will test the person to see if he has a problem with speech, language, swallowing or thinking. They analyze the problem and talk to the patient and his or her family members on what can be done to get rid of the problem. The speech language pathologists are experts in treating people who have problems with speaking, understanding, writing or using numbers. They also treat people having problem with controlling mouth muscles to speak with clarity. People who are not good at problem solving or do not have good reasoning skills can also approach SLPs.
Even a person suffering from memory loss can also consider approaching a speech language pathologist. A person can get affected by communication or swallowing disorder for various reasons. This may occur due to a stroke, breathing problems, head cancer, neck cancer, using vocal chords in the wrong way, head injury and other diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. It has also been observed that speaking, thinking or swallowing problems arise mainly due to lack of proper nutritional value of food. Proper food intake is also very important to overcome this problem of speech. Therefore, if required, the speech language pathology services may also refer to a physical therapist, doctor or a dietitian for their advice.
If the person is still having problems in speaking, the speech language pathologists adopt another way to communicate which is called augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The speech language pathologists are always engaged in doing regular research on finding out various other methods and ways to treat the patients with communication problems or swallowing disorders.
You can approach a speech language pathologist in either a hospital, nursing home, outpatient clinic, rehabilitation hospital or a home health agency. The speech language pathologist may also set up a private practice.
