What is Speech Pathology
Speech Pathologists are trained to assess and treat people who have a communication disability. They are required to complete a degree at university which covers all aspects of communication including speech, writing, reading, signs, symbols and gestures.
Speech Pathologists can also work with people who have difficulties swallowing food and drink .
Speech Pathologists or Speech-Language Pathologists were formerly known as Speech Therapists. They are different from speech and drama teachers.
Why do we need speech pathologists
A Speech Pathologist may be needed when there are problems with the ability to understand and to be understood. Communication disabilities are the result of problems with speech, using and under standing language, voice, fluency, hearing, or reading and writing. Communication is something most of us take for granted.
One in seven Australians has some form of communication disability. This means that one in seven people has a problem under standing other people or being understood by people.
