injury, hearing impairment are just a few of the common causes. Whatever their cause or kind, speech and language disorders have serious consequences.

Speech and language disorders can limit academic achievement, social adjustment and even career advancement.

Fortunately, most people with speech and language problems can be helped. Even if the problem cannot be eliminated, strategies can be taught to help them cope. People may not fully regain their capacity to speak and understand, but a speech/language pathologist can help them express their needs and live more independently.

Speech/language pathologists work in schools, private practice, hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers and other health and educational settings. Anyone who has difficulty speaking or understanding should consult a speech pathologist. A communication disorder is just too important to ignore.
