Happy National Speech Pathologist Day!

/

The speech language pathology field began growth in the 1920’s as speech pathologists focused on treating soldiers returning from war. Today, throughout America, over 119,000 speech language pathologists work in a variety of fields. You’ll find speech language pathologists in hospitals, rehabilitation facilities, nursing homes, schools, early intervention settings, universities and private practices. In 2010, the United States dedicated May 18th as ‘National Speech Pathologist’ day, a day to recognize these incredible individuals.

Here at Sound SHC we are fortunate to have four of the best SLP’s - their holistic thinking, creativity, compassion and commitment to making a difference in people’s lives are just a few characteristics that makes our team so special. Not only do they take time to think of each patient individually, but they constantly seek to grow as individuals, a clinic and as a profession with continued education and research.

So today, celebrate an SLP you work with or you know!
