Speech pathologists play a vital role in providing education and training to schools and disability centers to improve communication outcomes for individuals with speech and swallowing disorders. They actively engage with staff members through various avenues, such as attending staff meetings and conducting workshops, to impart knowledge and upskill them in identifying and supporting individuals with communication difficulties.

During staff meetings, speech pathologists share insights into the signs and symptoms of communication and swallowing disorders, emphasizing the importance of early detection and intervention. They provide practical guidance on how to recognize red flags and refer individuals for further assessment and support. Additionally, speech pathologists collaborate with staff to develop strategies and accommodations that promote effective communication and swallowing safety within the educational or care setting.
