Education Station How do we go about finding a speech therapist and/or other professional? To find speech-language pathologists: In your research for a speech-language pathologist, aim to find someone in expertise in the area in which your child is having difficulty.

Some resources to check: Your local yellow pages: This will give you some familiarity with the local rehabilitation centers and pediatric hospitals. |
