Speech and Language Pathologist

 

For more than 20 years, Lemmietta McNeilly, PhD, helped infants and young children with swallowing and speech disorders as a speech and language pathologist. She founded an academic department and worked in private settings. For the past five years, she's been chief staff officer of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA) in Rockville, Md. And she's passionate about her profession. "Many people don't realize the breadth and scope of the profession," she says. In truth, the job goes way beyond helping children in schools learn to speak better, although that's a noble and important part of the profession for many. "SLPs work in neonatal intensive care units, with people who have had traumatic brain injuries, or those speaking English as a second language or help corporate executives."
