Why you might see a speech pathologist

Speech pathology involves working with people who have trouble communicating. You might see a speech therapist if you have speech and language problems including:

• Problems being understood by other people,
• Problems understanding what other people are saying,
• Frustration due to not being able to say what you want,
• A husky voice that’s hard to hear, and
• Stuttering.

Your child might also see a speech language pathologist if he/she:

• Needs help with feeding – for example, if your baby has a cleft and lip palate,
• Has problems swallowing,
• Has an intellectual disability and needs help finding alternative ways to communicate,
• Has a history of ear infections and you’re worried about his communication, and
• Needs help learning to read.

If you think you may have a speech or language problem, a speech pathologist can assess your level of ability and design a program to help you develop the skills and abilities you need.
