The Physics of Sound

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.
