Speech-Language Pathologist Jobs in Shreveport, LA

A Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), also known as a speech therapist, plays a pivotal role in the therapy industry by evaluating, diagnosing, and treating communication and swallowing disorders in children and adults. These disorders may result from a variety of causes such as stroke, brain injury, hearing loss, developmental delay, Parkinson's disease, a cleft palate, or autism. SLPs develop and implement individualized treatment plans, provide counseling to patients and their families, keep accurate records, report progress and adjust treatment plans as necessary. They work in various settings, including schools, hospitals, and research settings.

To become an SLP, one must possess a strong set of skills including excellent communication, patience, compassion, and problem-solving abilities. They require a Master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology and must be licensed in the state they wish to practice. In addition, they should earn a Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP) offered by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association. Before becoming an SLP, a person may work as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant, a special education teacher, or a child development specialist, gaining valuable experience in supporting individuals with communication and swallowing disorders.
