A speech language pathologist is a highly trained professional who evaluates and treats children and adults who have difficulty with speech and/or language. Although many people think of speech and language as being the same thing, they actually have very different meanings. If an individual has difficulty with speech, the problem is with the “how to” of talking. If an individual has difficulty with language, the problem is with understanding and using words in order to communicate.

An occupational therapist is a highly trained professional who treats children and adults who have difficulty participating in activities relevant to their daily lives. These activities can include self-care activities such as dressing and feeding, play and leisure activities, and work. For children, “work” is playing, learning, and going to school.
