A pediatric speech therapy works with children to improve their communication skills, both verbal and non-verbal. Clinicians in pediatric speech pathology work to prevent, evaluate, diagnose, and treat these communication-related disorders affecting children. Pediatric speech pathology is the field of expertise that includes the study and treatment of communication disorders, voice disorders, and swallowing disorders in children. Not every issue involves speech. Some patients need help with social communication difficulties, literacy impairments, or cognitive impairments, among others.
