Guidance counselors have the opportunity to help high
school students explore career choices and determine
how to best achieve those goals. The information
provided here is a resource about speech-language
pathology (SLP) as an academic major and a professional
career, and about the unique five-year guaranteed
seat SLP program at Duquesne University.
SLP is a profession that makes a difference in
people's lives. Speech-language pathologists work
with people of all ages-individually, in conjunction
with families, or in small groups--who have communication
problems or swallowing disorders.
Helping people to better express or understand
language helps people communicate ideas, dreams,
hopes and information. The richness of daily communication
spans the routine "good morning", the trivial
"Do you like the red or the blue paper?" the profound
"Has the jury reached a verdict?", and the emotional
"I am so angry!" or "I love you." By maximizing
communication abilities speech-language pathologists
help people lead the fullest lives possible. Better
communication allows children to learn, adults
to work, and people of all ages to socialize and
lead rich and full lives.
