Description
Welcome to this introductory lecture. If you are a parent, caregiver, or related professional (such as a special education teacher, physical therapist, etc), I've designed this lecture as a “crash course” in the field of speech-language pathology. A speech-language pathologist is more than just a professional who helps someone correctly say the "s" sound, or helps someone who stutters. The field of speech-language pathology is much more than that.
In this lecture, you will learn about the four common areas, typically treated by speech-language pathologists. As a parent or caregiver, I believe arming yourself with more knowledge, allows for better conversations and outcomes with your child’s pediatrician. As a professional in a related field, learning more information about the field of speech-language pathology, allows you access to additional knowledge, when considering referring a child to a speech-language pathologist.
At the conclusion of this lecture you will have successfully learned the following learning objectives:
Gain more knowledge about the profession of speech-language pathology.
Learn the general roles of a speech-language pathologist.
Learn about the four common areas typically treated by speech-language pathologists.
Gain information to make an informed decision when choosing the right speech-language pathologist for your child.
I'm excited about this lecture and I hope you are as well!

LaShonya Lacount
Speech Language Pathologist
Hi Everyone! I'm LaShonya S. Lacount, M.S., CCC-SLP. I have been a licensed speech-language pathologist since 2005. My passion is helping parents of children with special needs. I'm the creative mind behind practical solutions for parents of children with special needs! I help parents understand the world of speech-language pathology in everyday terms and provide access to information that parents can use in a practical way.
My goal is to provide speech-language therapy courses and lectures at affordable prices. My courses and lectures are designed to target the problem, and offer practical solutions that a parent can implement in their home and at their own pace. A working parent should not be denied the access and help they need for their child because of insurance issues or geographic location.
I love sharing my expertise and practical solutions with families who need it and deserve it, at a low cost. As long as you have a device, an internet connection, and a serious commitment to your child, I will be there to help you along the way.
