Speech-language pathology. Entering my final year next year (meaning I'll be pretty much "working" full time but not being paid. lol)


This is my first time hearing this major, can you simply describe it? (I m curious lol)

Yeah it's weird cause in some countries they call it "speech pathology" or "speech therapy" but it's all the same stuff xD Basically you're doing the degree to become a speech pathologist which means you help people with communication disorders/problems.

 

So like someone has a stroke and can't talk or comprehend language, someone has a stutter, a lisp, a kid says a bunch of different sounds in place of the correct sounds (like "kee" for "tree" or something), someone has dementia or brain damage, swallowing problems, selective mutism...all this stuff. You do activities and therapies to help them get better. It's interesting but hard haha. Sorry for rambling :)
