Speech and Language Therapy Practice
Language and communication are significant in all areas of life. Good language skills are of central importance for success at school and in training. Speech and language therapy can pointedly and professionally assist in communication disorders across whole life spans.
Speech and language therapy comprises preventing, diagnosing, consulting and treating communication disorders with people of any age.
The demographic and multicultural changes in our society as well as general medical progress result in increasing new and high demands being made of speech and language therapists.
The number of age-related, complex and severe disorders, for example chronic-degenerative brain disease, is increasing and requires a multiprofessional team applying optimised treatment strategies.
In order to effectively prevent delays in language development, treating premature babies, advising parents and early language intervention are of growing importance.
The outlook on the job market for speech and language therapists is very positive, due not only to the diversity of the services they can offer in the different fields of healthcare, but also to the growing need for speech and language therapy services.
