What is the difference between a speech pathologist versus a speech therapist?
A speech language pathologist is someone who diagnosis and
remediates speech and language disorders. They typically work in
schools, hospitals, outpatient clinics and long term care
facilities. In order to become a speech language pathologist, an
individual needs to have both a bachelors and a masters degree and
meet the requirements for the clinical certificate of competency
from the American Speech Language and Hearing Association. A speech
pathologist is someone who studies speech disorders.
