The field of Speech-Language Pathology focuses on many more modalities than just speech. The two main domains that fall within the scope of practice are communication and swallowing including speech production, fluency, language, cognition, voice, resonance, feeding, swallowing and hearing for infants, children and adults.

The main goal of Speech-Language Therapy is to improve ones ability to communicate and/or swallow effectively to reduce frustrations and enhance quality of life.

Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) provide services to individuals with a wide variety of speech, language, and swallowing differences and disorders within eight service delivery domains that range in function from completely intact to completely compromised.

The eight service delivery domains include:

• Collaboration

• Counseling

• Prevention and Wellness

• Screening

• Assessment

• Treatment

• Modalities, Technology, and Instrumentation

• Population and Systems

Speech-Language Pathology is a dynamic profession, and the scope of our practice frequently overlaps, especially in today’s society where health care, education, and other environments are consistently evolving. Therefore, SLPs in various settings work collaboratively with other school or health care professionals to make sound decisions for the benefit of individuals with communication and swallowing disorders.
