Welcome to Parts of Speech Blog! Parts of Speech is a growing speech-language pathology private practice. Speech-language pathology is an allied health profession whose practictioners are called speech-language pathologists (SLPs).  SLPs have a broad scope of practice.  Service delivery areas include all aspects of speech production, fluency, voice, resonance, language, hearing, cognition, feeding and swallowing throughout the lifespan.  Although speech-language pathology is an autonomous profession, successful client outcomes depends on collaboration between numerous stakeholders. We do not work in isolation! To honor interprofessional practice and collaboration, Parts of Speech Blog will be sharing posts from guest authors in allied fields.  Check out our first guest author’s column, In the Singer’s Studio with Kristen Ruiz!
