Overview
The Speech Language Pathology at University of Texas El Paso evaluates and treats such disorders of human communication as stuttering, delayed language development, aphasia, and voice and articulation problems. Computer applications to help individuals who are unable to speak are an exciting new area of study. The SLP also counsels individuals with speech and language disorders and their families on ways to facilitate better communication in home, school and/or vocational settings. Advising individuals and the community on ways to prevent speech and language disorders is another important responsibility of a speech-language pathologist.
