[humanser] Speech Pathology

[JD Townsend via humanser]

Dear Nefertiti:

I studied Speech Therapy for a semester some decades ago, before deciding 
that social work was more to my liking.  Some folks hesitate as with speech 
& language therapy there may be some touching of the face in order to point 
clients towards ways of speech production;  however, I see no reason that a 
blind person would be limited in this persuit.  Some say that viewing speech 
production through recognizing facial expression is invaluable, don't 
believe it.  I have known blind SLT's in the past.  Finding a mentor in the 
lists of the NFB and the AFB might be an excellent first step.

Best of luck!

JD

Hello everyone:

My name is Nefertiti (Nef) and I'm from New York City. I recently
learned about this undoubtedly valuable resource through a posting on
the NABS mailing list.

I'm exploring Speech-Language Pathology as a major for when I return
to school in the fall. Are there any speech pathologist amongst us?
I'm interested in connecting with students and professionals alike.
Feel free to write me off list if such is your preference.

Kind regards,
