Speech Language Pathologist  SLP

The speech language pathologist identifies problem areas of comprehension, attention, memory (recent and past), language skills, writing skills and reading skills.  The information gathered by the speech pathologist is valuable to other team members; for example, whether or not to use reading as a means of communicating information to the patient.  The speech therapist provides instruction and practice in improving skills in comprehension and communication.
