What is a Speech-Language Pathologist?
Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) evaluate,
diagnose, and treat patients with communication
and swallowing disorders, such as stuttering, autism,
articulation and language
disorders, language-based
learning disorders, reading
difficulties, traumatic
brain injury, voice and
swallowing disorders,
aphasia, dementia, and
hearing loss.
SLPs work with a wide
variety of people, from
infants to senior citizens, and work in settings such
as schools, hospitals, rehabilitation centers, skilled
nursing care facilities, private practice, and academia.
What is an Audiologist?
Audiologists are the allied health professionals who
evaluate, diagnose, treat, and manage hearing loss
and balance disorders
in adults and children.
They conduct hearing
and balance tests, fit
and dispense devises
such as hearing aids, and
program cochlear implants.
Most audiologists earn
a Doctor of Audiology
(Au.D.) degree and work
in a variety of settings, including hospitals, private
practice and clinics (e.g., Ear, Nose and Throat (ENT);
university), schools, military, Veterans’ Administration
(VA) hospitals, and government.

month prior to the start of the term they are
enrolling in.
•Unlike ASHA CEU courses, which provide continuing
education hours after licensure, PCP courses fulfill
the CSD specific coursework required to enter
graduate school.
