What Does a Speech Therapist Do?
Answer:
A speech therapist, also called a speech-language pathologist,
diagnose and treat speech , language, and voice disorders. Speech therapists often work in schools but can also be found in clinics, hospitals, and private practice.

People who have trouble with clear speech often work with speech therapists. Some of these problems include an inability to speak, stuttering, difficulty with rhythm or fluency in speaking, and communication disorders. Some of the problems that speech therapists treat are congenital or developmental, and others can be the result of an injury or illness. A speech therapist may even work with people who wish to modify their accents.

In addition to working on speech, a speech therapist might work with people in alternative forms of communication. Speech therapists working in schools make sure that their treatment follows a students individual education plan (IEP).
