This Speech Pathology Week, we celebrate the vital role of speech pathologists, who help people of all ages with communication and swallowing challenges.

Speech pathologists assess and treat issues caused by a range of conditions and support speech, language, fluency, swallowing, and voice, whether through talking, gestures, writing, reading, or assistive tools.

Every voice deserves to be heard. If you or someone you know needs help, connect with a speech pathologist today! Ask your doctor for a referral!
