This chart illustrates the wide-ranging scope of services provided by a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), focusing on four core areas: Speech, Voice, Memory, and Swallowing. Each area supports the treatment of various disorders, including cognitive-communication challenges, aphasia, dysphagia, traumatic brain injuries, and more.
SLPs are trained to help individuals regain or improve their ability to communicate and swallow safely. These areas below reflect the interconnected nature of these functions in the brain and body.
