Speech is an extremely vital skill or function of a human being, as this enables communication and therefore allows one to express their thoughts or needs. When speech is impeded, there is a barrier to one’s ability to communicate, and this may result in misunderstanding or even harm.

There are, however, circumstances in which speech becomes extremely difficult—if not completely inaccessible—for certain individuals. These circumstances may come in the form of chronic disorders or a stroke. When one of these happens, the patient loses the ability to speak coherently, or even swallow, and although there are other means of communication, these may require some time for the patient to learn. In dire times like these, speech or language pathology plays a very important role in enabling a patient to regain their ability to communicate in any way possible.

Speech pathology, relatively speaking, is the study and treatment of speech and language problems. Speech-Language Pathologists, or SLPs, therefore, work to assess, prevent, diagnose, and treat speech, language, social communication, cognitive-communication, and even swallowing disorders and problems in children and adults. By using various methods in treatment, over time, speech-language pathology can bring back the power of speech or communication to a patient.

When your elderly loved one is experiencing a chronic disorder or has recently suffered from a stroke which has incapacitated their ability to speak or even swallow normally, then it is only right to call on the help of a speech-language pathologist.
