What are you noticing outside the therapy room?
A communication concern often shows up in ordinary moments first: getting ready in the morning, following a direction, telling you what happened at school, joining a conversation, being understood by someone new, or getting stuck while speaking.
Words, sentences, understanding directions and expressing needs.
Listening, explaining, reading, writing and organizing ideas.
Conversation, social communication, repair and participation.
Speech clarity, speech sounds, stuttering and motor-speech concerns.
AAC and other ways to support meaningful communication.
School communication is a chain of connected skills.
A child can speak clearly and still struggle with the language demands of school. Academic communication relies on listening, vocabulary, reading comprehension, written expression, storytelling, inference, organization and social communication.
Understand instructions and classroom language.
Connect vocabulary, context and inference.
Sequence ideas and decide what information matters.
Explain, write, tell stories and answer questions.
Notice misunderstandings and communicate another way.
For bilingual and multilingual children, assessment should consider language history, exposure, use and communication patterns across relevant languages and settings where possible.
When communication changes, daily life changes with it.
Adults and seniors may seek speech-language pathology after stroke, concussion or acquired brain injury, or for voice, swallowing, stuttering, Parkinson's-related communication changes, dementia-related communication changes, accent modification or professional communication.
Communication can look “fine” — and still be much harder than before.
Cognitive-communication challenges after concussion or acquired brain injury can affect attention, memory for information, word finding, organization, reading, writing and the ability to keep up with fast or complex conversations.

Your voice can affect comfort, identity and participation.
