What Qualifications Do Better Speech Therapists Hold?
At Better Speech, every speech therapist is a licensed, trained, and accredited speech-language pathologist (SLP). All of our therapists have earned either a Master's or Doctorate degree in speech-language pathology, which equips them with the necessary knowledge and skills to assess, diagnose, and treat a wide variety of speech and communication disorders.
Additionally, our therapists hold the Certificate of Clinical Competence in Speech-Language Pathology (CCC-SLP), a credential issued by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA). This certification ensures that each therapist has completed rigorous academic coursework, a clinical fellowship, and passed a national examination.
Our commitment to employing highly qualified professionals ensures that you or your child will receive speech therapy from knowledgeable and competent therapists who adhere to the highest standards of practice.
Why Does Experience Matter in Speech Therapy?
While education is vital, real-world experience is equally important when it comes to providing effective speech therapy. On average, our speech therapists have around 10 years of professional experience. This experience is essential for several reasons:
Understanding Complex Cases: Experienced therapists are better equipped to handle complex speech and language disorders, as they have likely worked with a wide variety of cases.
Customized Treatment Plans: An experienced therapist can develop more personalized treatment plans, knowing how to adapt to the unique needs and challenges of each individual.
Faster Progress: With years of experience, speech therapists can quickly identify the most effective techniques and strategies, allowing clients to see faster progress in their communication goals.
Confidence and Trust: Knowing that your therapist has extensive experience can give you peace of mind, allowing you to feel confident in their ability to help you or your child succeed.
For both adult speech therapy and child or toddler speech therapy, working with an experienced therapist ensures that you receive the highest quality care.
