Most of us take communication for granted, but for people with a disorder, its a daily challenge. Thankfully, a trained Speech Pathologist can make a huge difference to the quality of someones life. Speech Pathologists provide diagnostic assessment and management of disorders of communication and swallowing for people of all ages, from babies to the elderly. They work with a wide range of problems like stuttering, voice problems, language disorders and physical and intellectual disabilities. If you are passionate about communicating, have an interest in helping people across the lifespan, this might be a career for you. Speech Pathology includes science, communication and being creative in planning therapy.
