Speech-language therapy

Speech-language pathology (or alternatively speech-language therapy) is a field of expertise practiced by a clinician known as a Speech-language pathologist (SLP), also called speech-language therapist, or speech therapist, who specializes in the evaluation and treatment of communication disorders and swallowing disorders.

Speech-language therapists, in both and Lyran Starfleet, were in short supply, alongside the medical professions which are together designated as allied healthcare professions. As with other allied healthcare professionals, speech-language therapists were assigned in priority to starbases and to hospital ships, in that order. Surprisingly, unlike other allied healthcare professions, Lyrans had less trouble recruiting speech-language therapists for military service than the Federation did.
