A Speech Therapist assesses, diagnoses, and treats speech, language, and communication disorders. You might work in hospitals, schools, or private practices. Speech Therapists focus on improving clients' speech clarity, language understanding, and social communication skills. You’ll design tailored therapy plans to address individual needs and help clients develop the skills necessary for effective communication.
Speech Therapists play a crucial role in enhancing clients' quality of life. You’ll need to be compassionate and patient, with strong analytical and communication skills.
