Speech-language pathologists are professionals who specialize in the assessment, diagnosis and management of communication, swallowing and feeding disorders. Speech-language pathologists work with clients across the age span, from infants to elderly.

Occupational Therapists help children in the areas of play, school and self-care (such as dressing, feeding and toileting). In order for a child to take part in these situations they require concentration, motor planning, perceptual skills and coordination.
