| abstract | - Speech-language pathology (or alternatively speech-language therapy) is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a Speech-language pathologist (SLP), also called speech-language therapist, or speech therapist, who specializes in the evaluation and treatment of communication disorders and swallowing disorders. Speech-language therapists, in both Federation Starfleet and Lyran Starfleet, were in short supply, alongside the medical professions which are together designated as allied healthcare professions. As with other allied healthcare professionals, speech-language therapists were assigned in priority to starbases and to hospital ships, in that order. (Star Trek: False Vacuum: "Wagon Train to the Stars") Surprisingly, unlike other allied healthcare professions, Lyrans had less trouble recruiting speech-language therapists for military service than the Federation did. (Star Trek: False Vacuum: "No plot? No problem!")
- Speech-language therapy, also called speech and language pathology (SLPs), is [1] "the practice of speech-language pathology includes prevention, diagnosis, habilitation, and rehabilitation of communication, swallowing, or other upper aerodigestive disorders; elective modification of communication behaviors; and enhancement of communication." Persons with autism may require speech-language therapy when "language skills are slow to develop or speech is delayed". The scope of speech therapy is more than simply training and teaching a child to correctly pronounce words and phrases. Such a therapy also covers at least the following four functional areas: Conversation skills: Designed to improve conversation skills like back-and-forth exchanges of relevant talks between tow or more persons. Concept skills: Designed to improve the understanding of the meaning of concepts - one may recite the concepts word-by-word without really understanding the same. Concept skills involve understanding of the meaning and significance of concepts like "liberty" or "justice". Non-verbal communication: Designed to improve body language by simple gestures, electronic talking devices, etc. Speech pragmatics: Designed to improve the ability to use certain phrases and use conversation skills at appropriate time. For example, saying good morning is fine, but it is also important to know when to say it.
