Carers and care partners, have often been undervalued in the approach and treatment of aphasia, dysarthria and apraxia. Many are of the mistaken idea that speech therapists are the only ones who should be responsible for helping people talk. It's just not true.
WHAT IS THE REAL VALUE OF A SPEECH LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST IN THESE POST VIRUS TIMES?

Please take a listen.
