Speech-Language Pathology (SLP)
Provided by: Athabasca Health Authority

Works with people, from babies to adults, in the prevention, identification, diagnosis, and treatment of many types of communication and swallowing problems:

• Articulation: speech sounds – how we use words to communicate our wants, needs and what we are thinking
• Language: expressive & receptive
• Social communication: how well we understand and follow the social rules
• Voice: how we sound when we speak
• Fluency: the rate and flow of speech
• Feeding and swallowing

Early intervention is key for later success. Even if you are unsure about your child’s speech and/or language development, do not hesitate to self-refer. For more information call 306-439-2200 or visit the website.
