7. How Does It Work? By completing a thorough speech-language evaluation the SLP determines what kind of speech-language difficulty the client has and the best treatment method to address it. SLPs work in a variety of settings including schools, clinics, and hospitals. In schools, SLPs work with children mostly in small groups or the classroom. In clinic and hospital settings, speech-language therapy is usually provided by the speech-language pathologist (SLP) to one client at a time. The first goal of every speech-language pathologist (SLP) is to create a relationship or “build rapport” with the client. It’s essential that the SLP has patience, empathy, and caring for the client they are working with to help the client make the most progress possible. Most oftentimes speech-language goals are not achieved overnight, therefore the SLP needs to be respected by the client to get through the tough work that is speech-language therapy. Read more.
