Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are invaluable members of a school’s education team. Professionals who work as speech-language pathologists are specialists who assess, diagnose, and treat people of all ages with various speech, language, and swallowing challenges. Professionals in SLP jobs work with students in grades K-12 to help treat speech disorders related to reading, lisps, and stuttering, as well as more complex disorders such as autism, Down syndrome, motor speech disorder, and other developmental delays.
