What Does a
Speech Pathologist (Speech-Language Therapist) Do?
A speech pathologist—also called a speech-language
therapist—assesses, diagnoses, and treats communication and swallowing
disorders. Their role includes:
·
Articulation
and phonological disorders (difficulty producing certain sounds)
·
Language
delays or disorders (expressive and receptive)
·
Fluency
challenges such as stuttering
·
Voice and
resonance disorders
·
Social and
pragmatic communication difficulties
·
Feeding and
swallowing (dysphagia), especially in pediatric or clinical populations
In Singapore, speech pathologists are allied health professionals
often registered with Singapore’s professional bodies such as SALTS (Speech and
Language Therapy Singapore). Public
hospitals like KK Women’s & Children’s Hospital and NUH also include
speech-language therapy as part of their rehabilitation services.
