SLP Jobs in Portsmouth, VA

An SLP, or Speech-Language Pathologist, plays a crucial role in the therapy industry by diagnosing, treating, and helping to prevent communication and swallowing disorders in children and adults. This includes disorders related to speech, language, cognitive-communication, voice, fluency, and swallowing. They use detailed evaluations to create personalized treatment plans that aid in managing these disorders effectively. SLPs work in varied settings like schools, private practices, hospitals, and research labs. Skills such as active listening, critical thinking, patience, empathy, and excellent verbal communication are crucial to their role.

Before becoming an SLP, a person should ideally possess a master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology, and necessary certifications include the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) offered by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). Prior job roles may include a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant, where they work under a certified SLP, a Rehabilitation Aide in a healthcare setting, or a Special Education Teacher, where they gain experience working with individuals with communication disorders. These roles help build a strong foundation in understanding and implementing therapeutic techniques and strategies, critical for a successful career as an SLP.
