Speech
Language Pathologists (SLP)
evaluate and treat children who have difficulties with communication.
These difficulties may include problems with understanding language
(receptive language), expressing their wishes to others (expressive
language) or difficulty speaking clearly. The SLP
therapist also treats children
with eating difficulties.
The SLP
assists families
in receiving
augmentative evaluations and swallow studies to assess eating patterns
and achievement. The SLP also assists families with receiving
instruction in use of individualized communication
equipment.
