Assessment and Diagnosis: They conduct thorough assessments to diagnose a wide range of communication disorders, including speech (articulation, fluency, voice) and language (receptive, expressive, and cognitive-communication) issues, as well as hearing impairments. This involves the use of standardized tests, observations, and specialized equipment to evaluate hearing, speech, language, and cognitive-communication skills.

Counseling and Education: They offer counseling to patients and their families regarding the nature of the communication or hearing disorder, the course of treatment, and strategies to support communication in daily life. Education about communication development, hearing conservation, and the use of hearing aids and other assistive devices is also provided.
Collaboration with Other Professionals: Speech therapist-audiologists often work as part of a multidisciplinary team, collaborating with teachers, physicians, occupational therapists, and psychologists to provide holistic care that addresses all aspects of an individual’s development and well-being.
