[humanser] Speech Pathology

[Darla J. Rogers via humanser]

Well-said, Michael; a very dear friend of mine from Wisconsin, was a speech
therapist for years; I can't believe all the tests she modified herself to
teach her students.  She was also a fabulous mentor to me going back to
school--because I wanted to sows my wild oats---but she never failed to be
encouraging and help me brainstorm when there were challenges.

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,
