Department of Speech-Language Pathology

The Department of Speech-Language Pathology is part of the Center for Childhood Communication. Our speech-language pathologists evaluate and treat children who have communication or swallowing difficulties. Patients range in age from birth through adolescence.

Our team delivers family-centered clinical care, teaches families and professionals, and conducts innovative research to advance the field of pediatric speech-language pathology. Our speech-language pathologists are certified through the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) and licensed by the states in which they work.

We offer speech-language therapy services on an inpatient and outpatient basis. Our speech-language pathologists work in:

• Acute and intensive care units
• Inpatient rehabilitation
• Interdisciplinary clinics and programs
• Outpatient settings across the CHOP enterprise

We are a diagnostic center, but we also provide short-term therapy on a limited basis.
