You can find a therapist in your area using ASHA's Professional Finder. If you have a speech or language concern, please contact your local speech therapist. They may work with those who are unable to understand language or with people who have voice disorders, such as inappropriate pitch or a harsh voice. Speech-language pathologists work with patients who have problems with speech, such as being unable to speak at all or speaking with difficulty, or with rhythm and fluency, such as stuttering. Speech, language, and swallowing disorders result from a variety of causes such as a stroke, brain injury, hearing loss, developmental delay, a cleft palate, cerebral palsy, or emotional problems. Speech-Language Pathologists, sometimes called speech therapists, assess, diagnose, treat, and help to prevent communication and swallowing disorders in patients. We discuss therapy ideas, share stories, share informative links, and give general advice through our personal experience and research. Please add flairs to your posts!
