Speech therapy, also called speech-language pathology, is the assessment and treatment of difficulties with speech, language, communication, and swallowing. Delivered by trained speech-language pathologists, it helps people of all ages who experience challenges such as articulation and fluency disorders, delayed or impaired language development, voice problems, difficulties understanding or producing language after stroke or brain injury, and swallowing disorders. Therapy is tailored to each individual and may involve exercises, strategies, and supportive techniques to build clearer, more effective communication. Speech therapy draws on knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of speech and hearing, neurology, and child development, and it often works alongside other disciplines in rehabilitation and care. Conditions affecting the ear, voice, and related structures can influence communication, linking speech therapy to the broader field of otolaryngology. As a topic within Otolaryngology Advances, speech therapy connects clinical management of communication and swallowing with the study of the head and neck. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to speech, language, and communication and to otolaryngology, supporting clinicians, researchers, and students concerned with the evaluation and treatment of communication and swallowing disorders.
