[humanser] Speech-Language Pathology.

[Tara Sena]

Hi,
Thank you. One area I could see being problematic for a blind person is the
area of Dysphagia (swallowing) because in order to assess and treat this
disorder one must be able to see what is going on with the patient/client.

Hello:

I took a semester of graduate school in speech pathology.  While it was not 
the best fit for me I can see no reason that a blind person could not be 
quite successful in this profession.


I took the liberty of forwarding your email to a SLP married to a  blind 
person who may add more to your information.


Best of luck.
