Speech Pathology

When most people think about speech-language pathologists (S-LPs) they probably think of someone who helps people who stutter or have a lisp. While it’s true that they do help with those issues, their scope of practice is a whole lot broader.

Speech-language pathologists are highly-educated professionals who have a minimum of a master’s degree in their field.  As in any health-care related profession, S-LPs are required to study anatomy and physiology, but they also study neuroanatomy, genetics, human and language development, linguistics, psychology, acoustics and more, which is why they are qualified to evaluate, diagnose (restricted in some provinces/territories) and treat a broad range of delays and disorders.

What is Speech Pathology?

Speech-Language Pathology is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a speech-language pathologist(SLP), or a speech therapist. SLP is considered a “related health profession” or “allied health profession” along with audiology, behavior analysis, optometry, occupational therapy, clinical psychology, physical therapy, and others.
