How do I find the most appropriate speech- language pathology services for a child or adult?
A. There are several easy ways to locate Speech-Language Pathologists in your area. You need to know that most states require licensure for Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs). The majority of SLPs are nationally certified (CCC SLP) by the American Speech Language Hearing Association. These credentials allow you to recognize a highly trained, credentialled professional. Check the local yellow pages, use a search engine online, access an SLP through the following website: www.asha.org. Once you have located an SLP in your area, then ask about her/his specialization areas. Some SLPs are specialists and others provide services to individuals with any type of communication problem. SLPs work in public schools and in all healthcare settings. If your child goes to a private school, s/he will not typically receive services through that school.
