Speech is sound. Speech-language pathology involves
the practical application of basic knowledge about
the physics of sound. An understanding of sound,
how it is produced, how it is transmitted, and
how it is perceived is essential to knowing how
humans produce speech and what happens when speech
or auditory processing are disordered. Speech-language
pathologists learn how to collect and analyze
speech samples using behavioral and a wide range
of instrumental procedures.
